‘I didn’t get any help’: Maui residents struggle despite Biden’s vow of aid

The president promised federal government would support the island after deadly wildfires, but residents say the response is scattershot and insufficient

As Joe Biden toured the devastated town of Lahaina and met with survivors of the deadly wildfires that swept through Maui last month, he vowed that the federal government would support the island throughout the long and arduous recovery process ahead.

The country grieves with you, stands with you, and we'll do everything possible to help you recover, rebuild, and respect culture and traditions when the rebuilding takes place," the president said. To the people of Hawaii, we're with you for as long as it takes, I promise you."
