President Joe Biden finally acknowledged the wildfires that ravaged Hawaii in recent days; calling the disaster “really tough stuff” just 24 hours after he said he had “no comment” on the emergency.

“I’ve spoken to Gov. Josh Green multiple times and reassured him that the state will have everything it needs from the federal government,” Biden said. “I immediately approved the governor’s request for an expedited major disaster declaration – that’s a fancy word for saying whatever you need, you’re gonna get.”
