Trump makes false claims about federal response as he campaigns in area ravaged by Helene

Donald Trump is spreading falsehoods about the federal response to the deadly Hurricane Helene, despite claiming not to be politicizing the disaster. Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for “campaigning and looking for money." He also levied attacks against the federal government for being “non-responsive” to the disaster, claiming Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has been struggling to get President Joe Biden on the phone. This is despite the White House announcing that Biden spoke by phone on Sunday night with Kemp and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper. Biden accused Trump of “lying.” Kemp, meanwhile, expressed appreciation Monday for federal response to the storm.
