SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden are traveling to Maui on Monday for an emotional day of comforting survivors of the devastating wildfires that ripped through the western part of the Hawaiian island, as his administration responds to the devastation whose full scope is still unknown.
“It’s going to be an emotional day for everyone,” Olivia Dalton, the White House deputy press secretary, told reporters traveling with Biden.
