(Applause.)Īnd I want to thank the members of Congress and local officials, community leaders that have joined us today.Įver since the hurricane struck, Jill and I have had people in Puerto Rico on our minds and in our prayers. And I mean rebuild it all and rebuild it in a resilient way so you don’t - when the storms come again, which they will, they’re not having the damage they caused before. Thank you, Governor, for your partnership as we work together to help rebuild Puerto Rico. I spent a lot of time in the northern part of the state.īut, look, it’s people like you who - who do so much for your community and are going to make such a big difference as Puerto Rico rebuilds.

And I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee. And so, we - and we came here for a long time, both for business and pleasure, since you’re part of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and Delaware is as well. And between all minorities, we have 20 percent of our state is minority.Īnd so I - I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically. We have the eighth-largest Black population in the country. It’s not like the congresswoman from New York she’s from a big state.īut we have a very, in relative terms, large Puerto Rican population in Delaware - relative to our population. You know, we - I come from a little state - the little state of Delaware.

Jill and I are - we’re anxious to be here. Let me start off by saying that Jill and I - and thank you very much for that lovely introduction. Well, my name is Joe Biden, and I don’t want the headline to read “Biden Brings Storm to Puerto Rico.” (Laughter.) So, I don’t - I’m going to maybe have to cut this a little short.
