President Joe Biden would not comment on the deadly wildfires in Maui that left at least 96 people dead and more unaccounted for.

While he was in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, the president was seen near a vehicle. He was asked by a reporter about the rising death toll in Maui, to which his response was, “No, no comment,” according to footage of the event.
