Earlier this evening, Governor Jerry Brown of California hinted that he might, possibly run for president of the United States. “You could have a lot of big surprises,” said Brown.
Now the White House has released a read-out of President Obama’s phone call with Governor Brown. The conversation was about wildfires.
“Today, the President called California Governor Jerry Brown to receive an update on the recent wildfires and express his concern about the devastating impacts on the state of California and its citizens. He expressed his gratitude for the brave firefighters, local authorities, and emergency managers who have worked tirelessly to combat these devastating fires and evacuate people out of harm’s way,” the White House read-out states.
“The President made clear that his Administration will continue to support the state and local efforts. He reiterated that the Administration is committed to fixing the way the nation pays for wildfire suppression, reducing the risk of future catastrophic wildfires, and continuing to work closely with Governor Brown in preparing California for the impacts of a changing climate. The President told Governor Brown that his thoughts and prayers are with the people of California during these difficult times.”
