Biden consoles families and survivors of Surfside condo building collapse

President Biden paid a visit to Surfside, Florida, a week after a towering condo building in the town came crashing down. Eighteen people are confirmed dead in the tragedy and more than 140 are unaccounted for. 

The president, along with home-state Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, met with families of the victims for about three hours, staying to speak with every family member who wanted to meet him. The president and first lady also visited a makeshift memorial site by the condo, reading homemade signs and gazing at photos. In brief remarks the president said federal government and state and local authorities are doing everything they can.
