Ron DeSantis when “conditions allow.” The president said he would also visit Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory that was slammed by Hurricane Fiona.“We know many families are hurting,” Biden said. “Our entire country hurts with them,”He urged those affected by Ian to take seriously the warnings from local officials to stay safe and remain indoors. “Don’t go outside unless you have to,” Biden said. “The danger is real, to state the obvious.
