Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign has been facing significant challenges due to the impact of Hurricanes Milton and Helene on the southeastern United States. With Hurricane Milton approaching the western coast of Florida, the campaign has been forced to evacuate staff and pause voter outreach efforts in the state. The campaign has also been closely monitoring the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, a key battleground state.
Senior campaign officials, led by campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon, have been actively involved in addressing the widespread ramifications of the hurricanes. The campaign has implemented protocols to halt voter outreach in Florida and ensure the safety of staff members in the storm’s path.
