Vice President Kamala Harris is under pressure to visit states ravaged by Hurricane Helene, as former President Donald Trump’s campaign has said he plans to visit storm-battered Georgia on Monday.
Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida late on Thursday before heading into Georgia, also affecting North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.
The storm has led to nearly 100 deaths and a widespread loss of homes and property, as floodwater inundated many parts of the U.S. Southeast.
Trump has been quick to announce his plans to visit storm-ravaged Valdosta in Georgia and has criticized the Biden administration’s response to the hurricane, accusing the president of “sleeping” at his beach house.
The Republican presidential candidate has also criticized Harris for fundraising in California over the weekend while “big parts of our country have been devastated by that massive hurricane.”
Harris is currently campaigning in Las Vegas but is planning to cut the trip short to return to Washington, D.C., and take part in briefings about the disaster response at the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
