The president surveys wildfire damage in California and rallies support for his $3.5tn spending plan. Joe Biden traveled to California on Monday to survey wildfire damage as the state battles a devastating fire season that is on track to outpace that of 2020, the state’s worst fire season on record. The president is using the trip to highlight the connection between the climate crisis and the west’s increasingly extreme wildfires as he seeks to rally support for a $3.5tn spending plan Congress is debating. Biden pointed to wildfires burning through the west to argue for his plan, calling year-round fires and other extreme weather a climate crisis reality the country can no longer ignore. While in California, the president also campaigned with the state’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, who faces a recall election on Tuesday. Biden spent the evening in Long Beach for a get-out-the-vote rally to encourage voters in the largely Latino neighborhood to cast their ballots against the recall.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Nicholas strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane as it headed toward making landfall along the Texas Gulf Coast, expected to bring heavy rain and floods to coastal areas from Mexico to storm-battered Louisiana.
