(Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration for Mississippi on Sunday after a powerful storm tore across the state, killing at least 25 people there and one in Alabama.

Biden ordered federal aid to supplement state, tribal and local recovery efforts in the affected areas, a White House Statement said. The funding will be available to affected people in the counties of Carroll, Humphreys, Monroe, and Sharkey, the statement said.

Every day for Biden is an emergency
The greatest emergency would be if Trump appeared again on stage. Specially for the families of the people he let die in the Captiol Riots while watching TV of all things.  Shamefull, he should go to jail, like anyother civilian would.
stop getting your facts from the view. all reports showed that is not factual.
About time Biden acts like president
Isn't it time for you to sweep your tent?
