She told him that she and her husband, Caesar, had left with the baby before the flooding, then returned to find destruction.She said afterward she hoped the visit would speed help"along a little bit" and said she was grateful for the visit.
Later during a briefing with officials Mr Biden said:"Every part of the country, every part of the country is getting hit by extreme weather."
