Trump White House Assures East Palestine They Are Not Forgotten

Under Biden’s leadership, a major environmental disaster in the U.S. was severely mishandled from start to finish. Meanwhile, Trump, often seen as a champion of the common person, visited East Palestine in what some viewed as an early move for his 2024 campaign, pledging to the community that he would not abandon them.

A new video posted by Veep J.D. Vance shows he hasn’t.

I'm proud to announce with @SecKennedy and @NIHDirector_Jay that the Trump Administration is launching a program to study long-term health effects of the chemical spill in East Palestine, OH and help residents access the care they need.
