President Joe Biden on Monday spoke with Louisiana’s governor after Ida, a major hurricane, pummeled the state.

“I know you’re busy as the devil. I know you got a lot to manage in your states. But the fact is that, I want to hear from you, we both want to hear from you,” Biden told a group that included Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards and Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, referring to himself, Deanne Criswell, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administrator, and senior adviser Cedric Richmond.
