Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump for spreading misinformation about the federal response to Hurricane Helene, labeling his actions as “incredibly irresponsible.” With Hurricane Milton approaching Florida, Harris emphasized the importance of accurate information and access to resources for disaster victims.
Harris highlighted Trump’s false claims regarding aid distribution and FEMA funding, pointing out the availability of resources for those in need. She also addressed Trump’s accusations against President Joe Biden and Governor Ron DeSantis, urging politicians to prioritize the welfare of the people over political gamesmanship.
While DeSantis disputed Harris’ remarks and emphasized his focus on storm preparations, Harris emphasized the need for unity and cooperation in times of crisis. Despite the political tensions, President Biden encouraged collaboration between state and federal authorities to support affected communities.
In the midst of escalating disputes, Harris reiterated the importance of putting the needs of the people first and refraining from divisive political tactics. As Florida braced for Hurricane Milton’s impact, the focus remained on providing essential aid and support to those affected by the devastating storm.
