President Biden stood next to Gov. Gavin Newsom, a fellow Democrat, at a fire station in Santa Monica and pledged to provide full federal support to the state. "We're prepared to do anything and everything for as long as it takes to contain these fires," Biden said.
Hours earlier, Republican President-elect Donald Trump blamed 'Newscum and his Los Angeles crew' for the unfolding calamity. In a post on his social media site, he alleged that the governor refused to sign a water restoration declaration.
Trump's claims attempting to link water deliveries to the firefighting response were inaccurate. Water experts have said that his water proposals will probably encounter substantial obstacles.
Newsom praised Trump during his first term for approving federal disaster funding for wildfires but stated he had to 'kiss the ring' to convince Trump to help.
