President Joe Biden on Friday said he believes his administration is "breaking through with the truth" when it comes to misinformation surrounding the federal response to Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

Though Biden also continued his vocal criticism of former President Donald Trump, who he said was "not singularly to blame" for the proliferation of false claims in recent weeks but "has the biggest mouth."

The comments came as Biden met with Vice President Kamala Harris, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and other officials at the White House to discuss the back-to-back storms that ravaged Florida, North Carolina and other parts of Southeast.

The president will travel to Florida on Sunday to visit areas impacted by Hurricane Milton, the White House announced.

should redirect the blame to Mike Johnson instead. I get the anger of those who have lost everything, but some of them are blaming the wrong people. If enough of them show their ire towards Mike Johnson, maybe they can truly rain hell down on him.

1. The reason so many Americans are pissed off with government is because when Democrats are in power, the GOP roadblocks legislation like a spike in a bicycle wheel, and when they are in power, they lavish trillons on the wealthy, and nothing else.

2. The only breakthrough Trump ever had was with his Charmin, so only morans will shake his hand.

However he is deeply concerned about continuing the lies and chaos. The only "need" is for more misinformation, unfounded accusations and outright lies. The maga way, ew

He's not capable of setting goals, taking charge, accomplishing. He's a small man out of his league. All he can do is throw a monkey wrench into the works and screw it up for everyone else.
