“I’m making sure you got a place to sleep, food to eat, helping you rebuild your lives in Rolling Stone,” Biden said during a speech.
“What did I say, I said Rolling Fork,” the president said. “Rolling Stone. I got my mind going here.”
The tornado touched down last Friday in Rolling Fork — a predominantly black community of 2,000 residents located in one of the poorest counties in Mississippi — which was among the hardest hit by the twister. President Biden issued an emergency declaration for Mississippi early Sunday, making federal funding available to the hardest-hit areas in Carroll, Humphreys, Monroe and Sharkey counties.
