Former President Donald Trump recently made false claims regarding the federal response to Hurricane Helene, accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of neglecting aid efforts. Trump alleged that Harris did not send any helicopters or assistance to those affected by the hurricane, leading to unnecessary deaths.
However, these claims have been debunked by reports of numerous government and private helicopters being deployed for rescue operations in North Carolina. While tragic deaths did occur, it is untrue that no aid was provided or that helicopters were turned back.
