Biden to survey US wildfire damage, make case for spending plan

Al Jazeera  

Slumping in the polls, the US president seeks to boost public support for his spending and climate proposals. President Joe Biden is heading to California to drum up political support in the largest US state, hit by devastating wildfires, for the Democrat’s massive spending plans that include measures to combat climate change. Biden will also use the West Coast trip beginning on Monday to support fellow Democrat, embattled California Governor Gavin Newsom, who faces a recall vote on September 14. Biden will promote his administration’s rare use of the Defense Production Act used to boost supplies of 415 miles of fire hoses for the US Park Service to help fight the western fires. Biden on Monday is to first visit the US’s National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, where authorities are managing a massive battle against hundreds of wildfires burning throughout western North American from California to Canada.
