President Joe Biden will be heading to Rolling Fork on Friday to assess the damage from last week's severe storms and tornadoes, which left 21 dead and countless injured.

According to a press release from the White House, both Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will “visit with first responders, state and local officials, and communities impacted by the devastation.”
