President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are preparing to address the devastation left by Hurricane Helene, as they tour affected regions in the Southeast. Biden will visit North and South Carolina, while Harris is heading to Georgia, both aiming to show their commitment to helping disaster-stricken communities.

Their efforts come amid claims from former President Donald Trump, who accused Biden of neglect in his response. Biden countered these accusations by emphasizing the immediate need to deploy all available resources to aid recovery efforts in the impacted areas, pointing to recent successful engagements with state officials.

Harris, integrating elements of her campaign, aims to embody the empathy commonly attributed to Biden during times of disaster, leveraging her past experiences with California wildfires and Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. As Biden and Harris roll out their plans, they face a significant test of their leadership and crisis management capabilities during this critical period.
