"Bidens To Travel To Kentucky After Catastrophic Flooding"

"President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden on Monday are scheduled to travel to eastern Kentucky, where deadly flooding killed more than three dozen people and caused catastrophic damage to communities.

The Bidens will visit families affected by the flooding and survey the damage, as thousands remain without running water or power. They will be joined by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and the state's first lady, Britainy Beshear.

The President will receive a briefing on the ongoing response at an elementary school in Lost Creek, according to the White House, and deliver a speech."

Kate Sullivan reports for CNN August 8, 2022.
