There’s no let up in the war of words between President Biden and former President Trump over the federal government’s response to back-to-back dangerous hurricanes that slammed into the southeast.
One day after Hurricane Milton tore a path of destruction across Florida, the death toll is rising and millions remain without power or running water.
As recovery efforts in Florida reach a fever pitch, there’s no letup in the war of words between President Biden and former President Trump over the federal government’s response to Milton and Hurricane Helene, which smashed into the southeast two weeks ago.
With Trump continuing to charge that Biden and Vice President Harris have been slow and ineffective in steering the government’s storm efforts, the president once again fired back.
« Vice President Harris and I have been in constant contact with the state and local officials. We’re offering everything they need », Biden emphasized on Thursday.
With less than four weeks to go until Election Day, Harris and Trump are locked in a narrow margin-of-error showdown in the race to succeed Biden in the White House, and with two of the hardest-hit states from Helene — North Carolina and Georgia — among the seven key battlegrounds that will likely determine the outcome of the 2024 election, the politics of federal disaster relief are again front and center on the campaign trail.
For nearly two weeks, Trump has been turning up the volume.
« THE WORST RESPONSE TO A STORM OR HURRICANE DISASTER IN U.S. HISTORY », Trump claimed in a social media post on Tuesday.
