Biden
Hurricane Fiona knocked out electrical power to the U.S. territory of 3.2 million people, 44% of whom live below the poverty line. Biden has pledged that the U.S. government will not abandon Puerto Rico as it starts to rebuild again, five years after the more powerful Hurricane Maria devastated the island in 2017.
"At times like these, our nation comes together, puts aside our political differences and gets to work," Biden said. Government officials have estimated some $3 billion in damages, but warn that costs could rise significantly as evaluations continue.
