FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) — President Joe Biden is visiting Kentucky to survey damage and offer federal support for the victims of the devastating tornadoes that killed dozens of people and left thousands more in the region without heat, water or electricity. More than 30 tornadoes tore through Kentucky and at least four other states over the weekend.

Biden is visiting Fort Campbell for a storm briefing and Mayfield and Dawson Springs to survey storm damage.
