Biden refuses to answer questions about Maui trip as wildfire death toll hits 111: ‘No, not now’
President Biden refused to comment Thursday on the wildfire tragedy in Maui as the death toll on the Hawaiian island climbed to 111 — saying, “No, not now” when asked about his planned trip despite facing harsh criticism earlier this week for a similar remark.
“Can you tell us about your Hawaii trip, sir?” a reporter asked Biden under the wing of Air Force One in Scranton, Pa., before the president paid his respects to Ellen Casey, the mother of Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-Pa.) and widow of former Keystone State Gov. Bob Casey Sr.
“No, not now,” the 80-year-old president replied. “I’m going to be leaving and I’ll be there on Monday.”
“Why is it important that you go?” a reporter followed up.
Biden didn’t answer the second inquiry, instead saying “Thank you” as he turned away to end the exchange.
