President Joe Biden was relaxing on a Delaware beach this Sunday right before stating “no comment” when reporters questioned him about the tragic wildfires in Hawaii.
Recorded as the deadliest wildfire in modern U.S. history, Hawaiians experienced massive wildfires, killing an estimated 96 people with hundreds more missing. According to Hawaii Governor Josh Green, the damage from the fires utterly ravaged the historic town of Lahaina and could cost roughly $6 billion.
Meanwhile, Biden was seen spending the weekend sunbathing on the beach near his Delaware vacation home. As the 80-year-old left the beach, a reporter asked for his thoughts on the Hawaiian fires.

Although Hawaii’s Governor and senators repeatedly thanked Biden for “immediately approving an emergency declaration,” residents on the islands complained that federal aid has yet to arrive.
According to the New York Post, the President was seen returning to Washington on Monday morning, walking directly across the White House lawn towards the Oval Office without approaching the press to give any kind of statement.
The White House released a statement on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after, stating: “As residents of Hawai’i mourn the loss of life and devastation taking place across their beautiful home, we mourn with them. Like I’ve said, not only our prayers are with those impacted – but every asset we have will be available to them,” read the statement attributed to Biden.
As of 5 am Monday morning, just 3 percent of Lahaina – the town with the most destructive aftermath and a town of 13,000 – has been searched.
