Both Trump and Harris shortened their campaign stops to speak with representatives of the rescue effort.
Both the Harris and Trump campaigns shifted their schedules Monday in the wake of the deadly Hurricane Helene.
The storm has left more than 100 people dead across six states, and left many more without water, shelter or power.
Vice President Kamala Harris cut her campaign trip to Las Vegas short and
traveled back to Washington Monday. She attended a briefing at FEMA headquarters and received an update on the damage and federal response efforts.
“To everyone who has been impacted by this storm, and to all of you who are rightly feeling overwhelmed by the destruction and the loss — our nation is with you,” Harris said.
Trump criticized the Biden administration over its response and accused Harris of campaigning rather than visiting the disaster zone.
White House officials say the vice president will make a trip to survey the storm’s damage as soon as it’s possible for her to do so without impeding rescue efforts.
