The only thing that “scares the livin’ devil” out of me is knowing Joe Biden is a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Vice President Joe Biden offered assurances Monday that flood-ravaged Colorado will keep getting emergency funding even if the government shuts down next week.

While potential shutdown may “scare the livin’ devil out of you,” he said in Greeley, Colo., after touring damage in the eastern half of the state. “There’s reason to be scared, but not in terms of disaster relief,” which will continue to flow to the state, he said.

“I don’t want folks that are here in shelters or watching on TV seeing the dysfunction in Congress and thinking that all, all the relief efforts … are gonna shut down. They will not shut down even if the Congress doesn’t fund the federal government in a continuing resolution,” Biden added.
