Joe is totally over this whole presidency thing…
Reporters challenged President Biden on Monday for monitoring deadly Hurricane Helene from his Delaware vacation home rather than the White House; “It’s called a telephone,” Joe said.
“Why weren’t you and Vice President Harris here in Washington commanding this weekend?” a journalist asked Biden.
“I was commanding it. I was on the phone for at least two hours yesterday and the day before as well. I commanded it,” the president replied.
“It’s called a telephone,” he snapped.

During his remarks, Biden spoke about the Americans impacted by Helene.
“We’re keeping them all in our prayers and all the lives lost and those particular unaccounted for. There’s nothing like wondering is my husband, wife, son, daughter, mother, father alive and many more who remain without electricity – water, food and communications and homes and businesses have washed away in an instant. I want them to know we’re not leaving until the job is done,” Biden said.
“Also want you to know I’m committed to traveling to the impacted areas as soon as possible, but I’ve been told that it would be disruptive if I did it right now,” Biden added.
