Associated PressAUGUSTA, Ga. — Vice President Kamala Harris praised the workers straining to “meet the needs of people who must be seen, who must be heard” on Wednesday, as she and President Joe Biden surveyed Hurricane Helene ’s path of destruction in separate visits to Georgia and the Carolinas.
Biden wore a vest and boots. Before his air tour, he hugged and grabbed the hand of Asheville Mayor Esther Manheimer who was at the airport in Greenville, South Carolina, to meet him. The White House said he would also be visiting storm damaged parts of Florida and Georgia on Thursday. Harris' trip, meanwhile, presented an additional political test in the midst of a humanitarian crisis. She's trying to step into a role for which Biden is well known — showing the empathy that Americans expect in times of tragedy — in the closing stretch of her White House campaign.
Trump, the Republican nominee, traveled to Valdosta, Georgia, on Monday with a Christian charity organization that brought trucks of fuel, food, water and other supplies. The former president accused Biden of “sleeping” and not responding to calls from Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. However, Kemp had spoken with Biden the previous day, and the governor said the state was getting everything it needed.
