Harris-Trump showdown: Hurricane Helene in eye of the campaign storm
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump both shift plans following Hurricane Helene's massive destruction through the Southeast
As the death toll and devastation from Hurricane Helene soars in the southeast, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are being briefed by officials on Monday, as the destructive storm is smack in the middle of the White House race with just over five weeks until Election Day.
Trump made a stop in Valdosta, Georgia, to receive a briefing on the devastation, assist with relief distribution, deliver remarks, and take a few questions from reporters.
"I've come to Valdosta with large semi-trucks, many of them, filled with relief aid. A tanker truck filled up with gasoline, a couple of big tanker trucks filled up with gasoline, which they can't get now. And we'll be working to distribute it throughout the day," Trump highlighted.
Harris headed back to Washington, D.C., on Monday morning, cutting short a western campaign swing. The White House said the vice president would travel to Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters once she arrives in the nation's capital, where she will be briefed on the impact of the hurricane and the federal response to support rescue and recovery efforts.
