Trump campaigns in Georgia, makes false claims about Hurricane Helene response
Donald Trump campaigned in south Georgia on Monday, making false claims about President Biden's response to Hurricane Helene. He asserted that Biden was unresponsive to Georgia's governor, despite confirmation that Biden had spoken with him the night before. Biden defended his actions, stating he was actively managing the federal response from his beach house. He plans to visit North Carolina on Wednesday to assess the damage, while Vice President Harris returned from a campaign trip for briefings on recovery efforts. Trump's campaign partnered with a charity to deliver supplies to affected areas and launched a GoFundMe campaign that quickly raised over $1 million. He emphasized his focus on helping communities rather than politics during his visit.
