Making a claim that Flordia's power will be restored after President Joe Biden goes and takes a look at it is such a misleading claim no matter the evidence one may have unless electrical support technician's are also aware of this and know 100% of this claim to be possible and true. I would personally restate this claim and say there is hope in the near future that Flordia's power could be restored by Tuesday after president Joe Biden visits that claim is more reasonable and more realistic as Joe Biden cannot promise anything as he doesn't even know the damage that is done by the hurricane

I would also suggest expanding a bit on your explanation on where you got your source and how reliable it is as well as why this claim was made or maybe an update on the hurricane

Do you have actual evidence that debunks the claim? Such as Florida power lines that cannot be fixed quickly or something concrete? That would help strengthen your fact-check. Also, source links are helpful. Thanks!
