We're still not sure if President Biden plans to go to Maui at any point following the devastating wildfires that have killed almost 100 people and left many others without homes and vehicles, but we do know that he's scheduled on Friday to head to Lake Tahoe for a week-long vacation.
At Karine Jean-Pierre's briefing today, Biden's press secretary had nothing new to add (which isn't unusual, if you don't count brazen lies):
"Does he want to travel [to Maui] eventually?"

Karine Jean-Pierre promised everybody she's going to continue to lie and spin to the press, which shouldn't be surprising to anybody.
However, KJP's briefing did feature some comments from Biden's FEMA administrator, and she made an assurance about what's a priority during the rescue and recovery efforts on Maui:

How comforting that must be for people who have lost everything.
Is this real?

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Either they are helping people in need, or they aren't.

Can "we're sorry but we can't rescue you because your ESG score is too low" be far behind?
"Sorry, dude. Your lived experience does not count for a rescue. NEXT!"

Sadly that seems to be coming to fruition with this bunch.

WH staff did NOT want the press within 100 yards of Biden when he returned from Delaware
Erick Erickson & others play compare/contrast with media coverage of presidents during crises
