Trump Claims Biden Has 'Destroyed This Country', You Agree?

Biden points to Texas leaders over delay in Beryl aid

President Biden attributed the delay in federal aid to Texas following Hurricane Beryl to the lack of a formal disaster declaration request from state leaders. He mentioned in an interview that he was unable to act without a direct request from the governor, who was abroad, leaving Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick in charge. After connecting with Patrick, the necessary declaration was made, which Biden approved. Patrick emphasized the cooperation among various levels of government, stating there were no delays in response.
 

However, Governor Abbott’s press secretary, Andrew Mahaleris, strongly disputed Biden’s claims, labeling them as false and pointing out that the administration had established lines of communication with the governor, including recent discussions with FEMA. Mahaleris insisted that Texas had already set all necessary declarations well ahead of the storm, contrary to Biden's statements.
 

The hurricane significantly affected eastern Texas, particularly around Houston, causing massive power outages and disrupting flights, with millions of residents affected and extensive flight cancellations and delays.
