After touring storm damage from Hurricane Ida in Louisiana on Friday, President Joe Biden will travel to the Northeast next, the White House said. Biden will be in Manville, New Jersey, and Queens, New York, on Tuesday -- two areas hard-hit by devastating flooding as remnants of Ida wreaked havoc earlier this week. Overall, there have been at least 64 deaths across eight U.S. states related to Ida, including at least 49 in the Northeast. New Jersey has seen the greatest loss of life tied to Ida, with at least 25 people dead and at least six people still missing as of Friday. Three tornadoes also were confirmed in New Jersey as the storm swept through Wednesday, mostly in the southern part of the state.More Related News
