Three major crises are impacting the U.S. presidential race: a deadly hurricane in the Southeast, a dockworker strike, and missile attacks from Iran on Israel. These events have forced President Biden and candidates Trump and Harris to adjust their campaign strategies. Trump visited the hurricane zone, criticizing Biden's response, while Harris remained in Washington for briefings before traveling to Georgia. Biden announced the deployment of active-duty soldiers to assist with disaster relief in North Carolina, emphasizing government support. The crises have created a complex political landscape. Both candidates are trying to position themselves as change agents while also demonstrating stability. The impact of these events on voter sentiment remains uncertain as the election approaches.
