Biden's small gesture toward DeSantis highlighted the president's human touch Editorial

The president called it “remarkable.” And, with just a touch of his hand, he showed us what “remarkable” really meant.

President Biden came to Florida on Thursday, Surfside, specifically, to see for himself the incredible aftermath of an unimaginable event — the collapse of the Champlain Towers South. During his time in the small, stunned town, he listened to family members’ stories that were riddled with pain, bewilderment, resignation.

He had empathetic and encouraging words for first responders.

He called “remarkable” the cooperation between local, state and federal agencies, all working together to find all the victims of the collapse and — in the longer term — find out why this structure fell.

And he didn't throw paper towels.
