Kamala Harris called out Donald Trump for spreading misinformation about the government’s hurricane response during a visit to North Carolina, while President Joe Biden surveyed storm damage in Florida. Harris did not mention Trump by name but criticized those spreading false claims about the Biden administration’s actions after Hurricanes Milton and Helene. Biden, on the other hand, praised the resilience of the community in the face of natural disasters.
Harris spoke at Koinonia Christian Center about the importance of truth and community spirit in times of crisis. She emphasized the need for accurate information to reach those in need of aid. Both Biden and Harris highlighted the unity of Americans during difficult times and the importance of supporting each other regardless of political affiliation.
With the election approaching, Harris is focusing on rallying Black voters in key states like North Carolina. Biden announced funding for energy projects in hurricane-affected areas, underscoring the administration’s commitment to rebuilding and strengthening communities post-disaster.
As the presidential race intensifies, both sides are emphasizing their responses to the hurricanes and their plans for disaster relief and recovery. The impact of natural disasters on the election outcome remains to be seen.
