The president visited areas ravaged by the deadly storm on Thursday but the answer he gave to a reporter's question has triggered anger on social media.

President Biden said after a second day of touring Hurricane Helene damage Thursday that those affected are “very happy” with the federal response despite widespread criticism — after pausing for a moment and saying he was trying to think of “which storm” a reporter was asking about.

President Biden on Thursday said he’s hopeful that cleanup from Hurricane Helene could end the “rabid” partisanship in the United States, after he visited Republican-controlled states Georgia and Florida.
