Hurricane Scrambles Campaign Schedules

“Hurricane Helene’s deadly devastation has scrambled the presidential candidates’ campaign plans, with Kamala Harris returning early from a campaign visit to Las Vegas to attend briefings and Donald Trump heading to Georgia to see the storm’s impact,” the AP reports.

“The death toll is close to 100 people and rising, with some of the worst damage caused by inland flooding in North Carolina.”

“In addition to being humanitarian crises, natural disasters can create political tests for elected officials, particularly in the closing weeks of a presidential campaign.”
