President Biden has deployed 1,000 active-duty troops to assist in the recovery efforts following the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Helene, which has left over 182 dead and hundreds unaccounted for across the affected regions. As they toured the storm-ravaged areas of North and South Carolina, Biden and Harris expressed their commitment to providing necessary aid, noting that over $2.6 million has already been allocated for survivors. During their visit, Biden criticized former President Trump for spreading misinformation regarding the federal response to the disaster, calling such claims 'irresponsible.' The administration continues to ramp up support as local leaders stress the unprecedented nature of the tragedy, with calls for substantial federal assistance as the cleanup and recovery efforts begin.
