President Biden and first lady Jill Biden will visit Surfside, Fla., on Thursday following the partial collapse of a condo building in the town neighboring Miami.
The White House officially announced the trip on Tuesday morning after Biden told reporters at the White House that he hoped to visit Florida “maybe as early as Thursday.” Biden made the remarks as he departed the White House for an official trip to Wisconsin.
The White House said previously that officials were conscious of not taking away from local resources on the ground when considering a trip during which Biden could survey the damage of the building.
“In terms of a visit by the president, we always want to ensure that we’re not pulling from local resources. We don’t want to draw resources that are needed in the ongoing search and rescue operations and efforts. We will remain in close contact with officials on the ground,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters during a briefing on Monday.
