Biden heads to Florida condo collapse site, death toll at 18
President Joe Biden headed to Florida Thursday to meet with families heartbroken by the collapse of a beachfront condo building a week ago, as hopes of finding survivors in the rubble all but vanished. Biden and First Lady Jill Biden held hands as they left the White House early for the flight to Miami and a trip to nearby Surfside, where the toll in the tragedy now stands at 18 dead, with more than 140 still unaccounted for. The dead include two children, aged four and 10, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said late Wednesday.
