President Joe Biden is set to visit communities in Florida and Georgia that were devastated by Hurricane Helene, following his visits to North and South Carolina. The White House has provided over $10 million in aid to those affected by the storm. Vice President Kamala Harris will be visiting neighboring Georgia, where Helene caused widespread power outages and a death toll nearing 180 people.
The visit comes amidst a busy political landscape, with the upcoming election drawing attention to key battleground states. Joe Biden has approved a major disaster declaration for Virginia, and the Trump campaign has raised over $160 million in September. JD Vance, the Republican opponent of Tim Walz, took a victory lap after their vice-presidential debate, which was considered a tie by viewers.
Meanwhile, Melania Trump has made a surprising declaration in her upcoming memoir, expressing strong support for a woman’s right to abortion. The vice-presidential debate between Harris and Vance drew in an estimated 43.15 million viewers, with the March for Our Lives movement condemning Vance for his views on gun violence prevention.
In the legal arena, prosecutors have accused Donald Trump of committing crimes in an attempt to undermine the 2020 election results. Judge Tanya Chutkan has unsealed new evidence detailing the case against Trump, arguing that he should not be immune from prosecution. These developments add another layer of complexity to the already tense political climate as the election approaches.
