Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is hoping Hurricane Helene doesn’t have a devastating impact on next month’s election — as officials are working overtime to ensure voters have the ability to cast their ballots in two affected swing states.
“Certainly we are aware that there could be impacts to voting behavior, so we have been working around the clock to ensure that that can be mitigated,” a Trump adviser told The Post about the aftermath of Helene and Hurricane Milton, which ravaged the Southeast.
Hurricane Helene, which made landfall Sept. 26, was especially hard on North Carolina and Georgia — which could be decided by just thousands or even hundreds of votes on Nov. 5.
“We’re in touch with local officials, we have people on the ground as well who have been collecting intel from everything from road closures to housing situations, power outages, mail zip code delivery suspensions, road debris impacts,” the adviser added.
