On Monday, he struggled through a speech about the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene, following a weekend where both he and Vice President Kamala Harris largely overlooked the suffering of those in the hurricane-affected Southeast. Speaking in a weak voice typical of an elderly person, Biden offered empty assurances and committed &#8220;every available resource&#8221; while coughing frequently. At one point, he mentioned having a cold.<\/p>\n<p>During that weekend, survivors shared shocking videos on social media showing severe flooding in areas like western North Carolina. Meanwhile, Biden briefly addressed reporters, claiming that the federal government had already provided victims with &#8220;everything that we have.&#8221; This is from a president who previously responded with &#8220;no comment&#8221; regarding deadly wildfires in Maui back in August 2023 and chose not to interrupt his vacation for such crises.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s silence over the weekend was notable; instead of addressing domestic issues, his social media account focused on supporting Ukraine. This led to frustration among users who contrasted Biden\u2019s attention to Ukraine with his lack of response to North Carolina\u2019s crisis. Many expressed their outrage online about prioritizing foreign aid over domestic disaster relief.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, former President Donald Trump visited Valdosta, Georgia and criticized both Biden and Harris for their lack of engagement during this emergency situation. He noted difficulties faced by local officials trying to reach Biden while Harris was busy campaigning elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>In another exchange with reporters regarding federal relief efforts for Hurricane Helene victims, Trump humorously suggested that Biden might be asleep at that moment.
