"WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Wednesday is set to tour the damage in Kentucky caused by tornadoes that ripped through the state and several others over the weekend.

Biden is scheduled to take an aerial tour of Mayfield, Kentucky, one of the communities hit hardest by the devastating storms that also left a path of destruction in Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas. Afterward, the president is expected to receive a briefing from local leaders about the impact of tornadoes and extreme weather.

In the afternoon, Biden plans to visit a neighborhood in Mayfield and another neighborhood in Dawson Springs, Kentucky. He’s scheduled to deliver remarks there about his administration’s response."
