President Joe Biden promises his administration "isn't going anywhere" during his visit to Surfside, Florida following the devastating building collapse. Biden and his wife Jill arrived in Florida a week after the collapse of the 12-story Champlain Towers South beachfront condominium killed at least 18 people and left 145 missing. Hundreds of first responders and search-and-rescue personnel have been painstakingly searching the pancaked rubble for potential signs of life. No one has been rescued since the first hours after the collapse. His comments came as rescue efforts at the site of a partially collapsed condominium building in Florida have been halted out of concern about the stability of the remaining structure. Search crews that have been atop the pile of rubble for the last week stopped work shortly after 2 a.m. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava made the announcement at a news conference. The president said he believed the federal government has “the power to pick up 100% of the cost” of the search and cleanup and urged the local officials to turn to Washington for assistance ------------------ For More News and Videos SUBSCRIBE and Turn Notifications On https://bit.ly/2r0BEND Get a Digital Subscription to the Tampa Bay Times https://bit.ly/2Xinunj Follow us: Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/tampabaycom Twitter ► https://twitter.com/TB_Times Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/tampabaytimes #surfside #buildingcollapse #POTUS
