President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden are visiting Maui to meet with survivors of the devastating wildfires that recently struck the Hawaiian island. The Bidens will tour the damaged town of Lahaina, meet with first responders, and receive briefings from state and local officials. President Biden will also deliver remarks honoring the victims of the wildfires. The president has appointed Bob Fenton from the Federal Emergency Management Agency as the chief federal response coordinator for the Maui wildfires. The recovery efforts are expected to take years, as the fires have destroyed almost every building in Lahaina.
