Biden travels the world, except to East Palestine, Ohio -
Taking heat from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to visit the area, Mr. Biden has insisted he will go to East Palestine, “at some point,” but a trip has not been announced.
Irene Lin, a Democratic strategist based in Ohio, said it’s fair to criticize the president for not showing up. But she added that residents are equally angry with both parties and Norfolk Southern, which operated the derailed train. The White House has brushed aside criticism, arguing the response of the federal agencies in East Palestine is more important than a visit from Mr. Biden.
The crisis sparked fears of massive environmental and health threats to nearby residents. While the administration has assured residents it is safe to return to their homes, some remain skeptical. Residents have told reporters in the area that they are moving and trying to sell their homes.
