Biden to visit New Mexico in wake of historic wildfire season

The federal government is responsible for igniting the largest wildfire in New Mexico history. So when President Joe Biden arrives there this afternoon, he'll face this question: will the federal government also be responsible for paying the full cost of the damage?

During his visit, which will last about five hours today, Biden is scheduled to receive a wildfire briefing from Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in addition to other state and local officials, but there are no plans to survey damaged areas. 

The state's largest newspaper, the Albuquerque Journal, put it bluntly in an editorial, saying "Welcome to N.M., Mr. President; we sure need your help."
