Trump Criticizes Biden's Response in NC Visit

As the 2024 presidential election campaign intensifies, former President Donald Trump is making multiple campaign stops in North Carolina, including visits to Asheville and Greenville, to witness the damage caused by Hurricane Helene and deliver remarks. Trump's visit to Asheville marks his first since the hurricane hit, and he has criticized the Biden administration's response to the disaster, despite accusations of spreading misinformation about federal aid. In addition to assessing storm damage, Trump's itinerary includes a rally at East Carolina University's Williams Arena and a faith leaders meeting in Concord. Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, have been active in North Carolina, with Walz accompanied by former President Bill Clinton on a recent bus tour. The state's response to the hurricane continues with significant federal and volunteer support efforts.
