Biden admin pledges infrastructure assistance to Hawaii

President Biden is pledging new assistance to Hawaii after devastating wildfires on the island of Maui.
The president says money is on the way to help strengthen critical power transmission lines and harden utility poles, among other actions. White House officials have defended the administration’s response in Maui amid ongoing Republican criticism. The president is vowing to “do everything we can for as long as it takes to help Maui recover.”
