Hurricane Helene Disrupts Campaign Plans for Harris and Trump
In the wake of Hurricane Helene's devastation, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are altering their campaign schedules. Harris has cut her West Coast trip short to participate in briefings and support relief efforts, emphasizing the administration's commitment to stand with affected communities. Meanwhile, Trump is set to visit Georgia, particularly Valdosta, to assess the damage and provide relief supplies, while also incorporating the hurricane into his 2024 election campaign narrative. These events come just 36 days before the Election Day, highlighting the intersection of disaster response and political strategy amidst the ongoing challenges posed by the hurricane.
