My husband's son lives in the epicenter of OH. He is fighting this injustice.
I just texted his son to tell him that Trump was coming next week. He asked what day so he could be there. I told him it is Wednesday.
He just texted this back.
"Wonder if that's why FEMA just said we qualify now...but this morning they still denied us".
You can be sure that wasn't the calculation. Biden doesn't care about "flyover country." He does care that no stain attach to Buttigieg or any other of his Rainbow Cabinet. His best tactic is to pretend it didn't happen, or whatever the next nearest approach would be (like have responsive agencies determine that the accident does not cross the criterion for help).
