With local residents cheering in the background, President Joe Biden and Governor Gavin Newsom toured one of the hardest hit regions of California’s storm-battered coastline, talked with flood victims, and met first responders leading local recovery efforts. “Over the past weeks, Californians have endured some of the deadliest and most destructive storms in recent memory,” Newsom said Thursday. “I am grateful for the president’s commitment to helping California recover.”
