Maui resident responds to Biden’s ‘build back better’ speech after wildfires: ‘There’s no better’ Biden left a week-long vacation to fly to Maui after criticism that he wasn’t visiting the disaster zone
A Maui resident called on President Biden to honor his promises to the people of Lahaina and help them rebuild after the wildfires — not “better,” but the way that the locals want.
“We’re gonna build back better,” Biden said Monday at Lahaina Civic Center in Maui. “We’re going to rebuild the way the people of Maui want to rebuild.” His speech came after the Biden family interrupted a week-long vacation in the Lake Tahoe area for the five-hour flight to Lahaina to meet with residents displaced from the wildfires.
