President Biden’s lopsided analogy comparing the historic Maui wildfires to a small kitchen fire at his home that almost killed his cat and could have destroyed his prized 1967 Corvette went down like a lead balloon (“Biden compares Maui wildfire devastation to that time lightning almost killed his cat,” web, Aug. 21).

Mr. Biden’s delayed response to the Maui fires and his insensitive kitchen-fire story should cost him the state of Hawaii in 2024. Since 1960, Hawaii has voted in only two Republican presidents: Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. Good job, Joe.
