Former President Donald Trump recently criticized the Biden administration's handling of Hurricane Helene and praised GOP Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for his efforts in the aftermath of the disaster. Trump expressed his concerns about the federal government's responsiveness to the situation, stating that Governor Kemp was doing a 'very good job' despite facing challenges in reaching the President for assistance.
President Joe Biden reportedly spoke with Governor Kemp, as well as other officials in states affected by the hurricane, including North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, and South Carolina. However, Trump mentioned that he had not personally reached out to Biden regarding federal relief efforts and criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for campaigning instead of focusing on the crisis.
