It’s just been reported that Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has finally revealed when he’s going to East Palestine.
According to reports he’s traveling there tomorrow, the day after former President Trump makes his visit.
And nearly 3 weeks after the toxic train derailment:

Pete Buttigieg to visit East Palestine, Ohio Thursday: statement

Buttigieg has been hiding behind the NTSB’s investigation of the crash as his reason for not going to East Palestine.
But now that former President Trump is going there today, suddenly he announces his visit will be tomorrow.
Of course they are claiming his visit is now ‘appropriate’ as EPA moves out of emergency response and the NTSB has completed their investigation:
Buttigieg to visit East Palestine, OH Thursday
On timing, admin official says now appropriate as EPA moves out of emergency response, into remediation + "His visit also coincides with the NTSB issuing its factual findings of the investigation into the cause of the derailment…"
