Bloomberg Quicktake | Biden Surveys Helene Damage as He Deploys Troops to Aid Recovery @BloombergQuicktake | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
President Joe Biden saw firsthand the damage from Hurricane Helene, part of an effort by him and Vice President Kamala Harris to reassure voters of the federal response to a natural disaster that Donald Trump has sought to make a 2024 election issue.
Biden flew over affected communities in South Carolina on Wednesday, seeing the devastation left by the powerful storm. On his arrival, the president was greeted by state and local officials, including Governor Henry McMaster and US Senator Lindsey Graham — both Republicans.
