Three days after President Obama visited Hurricane Sandy-ravaged parts of New York City, Vice President Joe Biden will see storm-devastated areas in New Jersey.

According to the White House, Biden will be traveling to Seaside Heights and Hoboken today to view storm damage and thank first responders. The Star-Ledger notes, "Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan acknowledged in their visit that it could take years to rebuild some areas wrecked by the superstorm, which killed more than 100 people in 10 states but hit New Jersey and New York the hardest."

Obama visited NJ a week before the election.
