On February 16, 2024, President Biden made a significant visit to East Palestine, Ohio, which unfortunately was not without complications. Despite the presence of a group of ultra MAGA Trump supporters who had traveled from different states, including Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, local residents turned out in large numbers to show their support. However, these outsiders attempted to create conflict and disrupt the event, specifically targeting those showing solidarity with Palestine. Nevertheless, President Biden remained undeterred and persevered with his visit, engaging in conversations with local leaders and expressing his support for the East Palestine community impacted by the Norfolk Southern train derailment. This visit not only brought attention to the deep political divisions and strong convictions held by both locals and out-of-state visitors, but it also highlighted the resilience and determination of all those who worked tirelessly to make this event a success.
