"The Harris campaign accused Trump of a lack of empathy, and the Trump campaign said Harris should visit the areas affected."
"VALDOSTA, Ga. — The two candidates for president ventured carefully into the politics of Hurricane Helene on Monday, with Vice President Kamala Harris canceling West Coast campaign stops to attend a storm briefing in Washington and former president Donald Trump delivering remarks from a Georgia city battered by the storm.
Trump blasted the administration’s response as inadequate during a trip to severely damaged Valdosta, Ga., while Harris gave remarks at the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Washington, aiming to reassure the public that the administration was acting decisively, but sensibly, in the storm’s wake.
“I plan to be on the ground as soon as possible — as soon as possible without disrupting any emergency response operations, because that must be the highest priority and the first order of business,” Harris said."
