“We've already done that,” Biden said in an interview when asked if he was planning to declare a national emergency in the US state. After clarifying the question, Biden apparently realized his mistake and said that the administration has declared a state of emergency “practically speaking.” On Tuesday, acting Governor of Hawaii Sylvia Luke declared a state of emergency over wildfires fueled by Hurricane Dora in Maui and Hawaii counties. The Biden administration so far has not declared a state of national emergency in Hawaii.
