Hurricane Helene: Did Kamala Harris’s Visit to Georgia Help or Hurt Biden’s Campaign?

Vice President Kamala Harris’s visit to Augusta, Georgia, in the wake of Hurricane Helene raised questions about the timing and impact of her response to the storm. While she showed empathy for the victims and highlighted the Biden administration’s efforts, her trip came after former President Trump visited the region, and was overshadowed by President Biden’s simultaneous visits to the Carolinas. The question remains whether her visit will have the same impact on the election as President Obama’s response to Hurricane Sandy did in 2012.
