ST. PETE BEACH – Returning to a beleaguered state battered by back-to-back hurricanes, President Joe Biden was scheduled to land in Florida Sunday to again survey the damage from a major storm and rally federal resources around a recovery effort that likely will take years and billions of dollars.
Biden was in Florida just 10 days earlier to assess the impact of Hurricane Helene, which made landfall in the Big Bend region as a Category 4 storm before cutting a swath of destruction north through Georgia, North Carolina and other states.
The president is headed back to the state after Hurricane Milton made landfall Oct. 9 on Siesta Key as a Category 3 storm, delivering a second powerful blow.
