"WASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden will announce on Friday that the federal government will cover for 30 days the full cost of Mississippi's emergency measures in response to last week's storm that killed 26 people, a White House official said.

Biden and his wife, Jill, will visit Rolling Rock, a town of 1,900 that a tornado swept through, destroying homes and infrastructure.

The Bidens were making the trip to "reaffirm their commitment to supporting the people of Mississippi as long as it takes," the official said."
