President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to visit communities in Florida and Georgia that have been devastated by Hurricane Helene. This comes after Biden visited North and South Carolina to survey the storm damage. More than $10 million in aid has been provided to those affected by the hurricane, according to the White House.
Hurricane Helene has been one of the deadliest storms in recent US history, causing widespread power outages and communication disruptions. The death toll from the storm is nearing 180 people.
In other news, federal prosecutors have unsealed evidence detailing Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure his former vice president Mike Pence to accept unfounded claims of fraud in the 2020 election. The prosecutors argue that Trump should not be immune from prosecution as he was acting as a candidate, not as president, when he attempted to challenge the election results.
Meanwhile, the recent vice-presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance has sparked controversy, with the Harris campaign highlighting Vance’s refusal to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. Vance has since mocked Walz’s performance at the debate and criticized his record.
The March for Our Lives gun control movement has condemned Vance for his stance on gun violence prevention, highlighting his calls for schools to build stronger doors instead of addressing loose gun laws.
Overall, the political landscape remains tumultuous, with ongoing legal battles, campaign events, and international tensions. Stay tuned for more updates on these developing stories.
