President Biden to tour East Ky. flood damage

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The White House has announced that President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will be in Eastern Kentucky on Monday to view damage from last week’s historic flash flooding.

Details of the visit have not yet been released, but the White House says the President and First Lady will accompany Gov. Andy Beshear and Kentucky First Lady Britainy Beshear at a FEMA recovery center.

Last Friday, Biden declared the flood a major disaster and has since authorized individual assistance in eight counties, including Breathitt, Clay, Floyd, Knott, Letcher, Owsley, Perry and Pike.
