Former President Donald Trump recently stated that efforts are underway to facilitate voting for individuals affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. Trump mentioned that his team, along with the Republican National Committee, are collaborating to ensure convenience for those impacted by the hurricane.
Trump highlighted the involvement of Lara Trump, the RNC co-chair and his daughter-in-law, in spearheading these initiatives. Despite the challenges faced by residents who have lost their homes due to the hurricane, election officials in Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida are swiftly working to enable affected voters to securely cast their early ballots.
In a recent interview, Trump expressed confidence in performing well in North Carolina, attributing his optimism to what he perceives as a poor response from the Biden-Harris administration regarding the hurricane. He emphasized that despite the severe impact on Republican areas in the state, he believes voters will make the effort to cast their ballots, even if it means overcoming significant obstacles.
It is important to note that Trump has made several inaccurate claims regarding the hurricane and the administration's response. While criticism has been directed at the White House's handling of the situation, there have also been instances of praise from various state and local leaders, including Republican governors from affected states.
