Biden Addresses the Aftermath of Hurricane Helene as Death Toll Rises

President Biden plans to assess the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, where the death toll has exceeded 130. In response to the catastrophic damage across multiple states, Biden has promised ongoing support and is considering requesting Congress for additional aid. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is now providing assistance for individuals affected by the hurricane. Amidst political tensions, Biden criticized former President Trump for misleading claims regarding the administration's response efforts. The President is set to visit severely impacted communities while FEMA assistance remains available for residents in Florida and Georgia as state of emergencies are declared.
