Trump and Harris Navigate Campaign Challenges Amid Hurricane Helene's Impact

As Hurricane Helene wreaks havoc, former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are adjusting their campaign strategies with just weeks to go before the election. Trump visited Georgia to assess the damage, promising support and launching a GoFundMe that raised over $1 million for victims. However, his comments on the federal response have drawn criticism, including accusations of politicizing the disaster. Meanwhile, Georgia's Republican Governor defended the federal relief efforts under Biden, countering Trump’s claims of a lackluster response. Harris addressed FEMA headquarters, emphasizing the importance of coordinated relief efforts while both leaders face backlash for their differing narratives surrounding the storm's impact and recovery. The situation underscores the intersection of politics and disaster response as both candidates seek to align their messages with the needs of affected communities.
