In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, tensions between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have intensified, with both politicians criticizing the government’s response as recovery efforts continue. The hurricane caused widespread devastation in Florida, leading to at least 16 deaths and extensive damage across the state. Efforts to clear debris, restore power, and drain flooded neighborhoods are underway as residents grapple with the aftermath of the storm.
Analysts estimate that Hurricane Milton could cost insurers up to $100 billion, prompting President Joe Biden’s administration to pledge federal support for ongoing damage assessments. However, political divisions have emerged, with Trump accusing the government of insufficient storm recovery efforts and Harris cautioning against politicizing the disaster.
As Florida faces a long road to recovery, the impact of Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene on the upcoming election is becoming increasingly significant. The Biden administration has called for additional funding for FEMA as rescue operations continue to save residents and animals affected by the storms.
