President Biden is traveling to New Hampshire to discuss care for veterans affected by toxic exposure, a personal issue due to his son's speculated exposure to burn pits in Iraq. Biden emphasizes the nation's obligation to support veterans, highlighting expanded VA benefits and bipartisan laws aiding veterans.
