President Biden calls for action in Jackson water crisis

President Biden is calling for action in Mississippi to deal with the water crisis in the city of Jackson.

The president talked to the press about the state of emergency in Jackson. He said that while he has no plans to visit the city, the federal government is offering everything they can to help shore up Jackson’s damaged infrastructure. “I’ve been talking to Mississippi. I’ve talked to the mayor; I’ve talked to the congressmen and I’m encouraged that we’ve offered every single thing available to Mississippi. The governor has to act with the money to deal with this problem, we’re waiting for, we’ve given them EPA. We’ve given them everything there is to offer.”
