Donald Trump vs Kamala Harris on Hurricane Helene disaster relief

, 6 news, 4 views

The devastation across the southeastern United States wrought by Hurricane Helene has brought the federal government's emergency response apparatus into focus ahead of the November election as authorities work to pick up the pieces.

With rebuilding in North Carolina, Georgia and elsewhere likely to take months, if not years, the responsibility will eventually fall to either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump, one of whom will replace President Joe Biden in January.

Still reeling from Helene, the United States is also now bracing for Hurricane Milton, showing how frequent extreme weather conditions have become.
