Joe Biden and Kamala Harris visited North Carolina and Georgia on Wednesday to assess the damage from Hurricane Helene.
However, amid the widespread devastation, Harris’s comments fell notably short. Similar to Biden’s promise of $700 in Maui following the devastating fire, Harris offered a meager $750 to those who may have lost everything.
Kamala went to Georgia today and bragged about giving $750 in federal assistance to the hurricane victims — whose entire livelihoods have been completely destroyed.

If you lost your home, that amount would hardly cover a few days in a hotel and food for a family. And you can apply for it online, she noted—assuming you had power.
Many reacted to Harris’s remarks, questioning how much money has been allocated to Ukraine or for various services for undocumented immigrants. In comparison, $750 seems insignificant.
Meanwhile, Biden, often seen as an absent leader, was in North Carolina. Observe how slowly he takes his seat while everyone else around him is moving at a normal pace.
Biden is completely cooked.

Kamala enabled it, covered it up, and lied about it — shame on her. pic.twitter.com/lyJZGNNGyY
It was disgraceful for him to use the hurricane as an opportunity to criticize any American who doesn’t adhere to his climate change agenda.

He should focus on assisting people rather than promoting his political agenda. It’s hard to imagine Biden calling anyone else “braindead.” Notably, this is the same rhetoric he uses after every hurricane.
Then Biden made another bold statement, discussing the deployment of Starlink systems to improve communication in the affected areas.
Biden: I've also directed the development of Starlink satellites for victims of the hurricane.

In 2022, Biden's FCC revoked a grant for Starlink that would have given access to it in 17 of the counties in North Carolina worst hit by the hurricane. pic.twitter.com/fc2gr8pN7W

Elon Musk stated that Biden’s FCC canceled the SpaceX Starlink award, which means the systems could have already been in place to provide assistance.
Had the FCC not illegally revoked the SpaceX Starlink award, it would probably have saved lives in North Carolina.

What about the $42 billion allocated for the broadband initiative to assist rural areas? The Biden-Harris administration hasn’t made any connections yet.
Trump highlighted the urgent need to Elon Musk, who responded that they were deploying more systems to areas in need.
God bless Trump and Elon Musk for working to provide Starlink and other resources to the people who are still trapped and devastated by Helene. Western NC has no cell service, no power, no water, and no way in or out.

Yet it’s crickets from the Biden Harris administration. 😩 🦗 pic.twitter.com/Ro18FycR3s
Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need.

Earlier today, @realDonaldTrump alerted me to additional people who need Starlink Internet in North Carolina. We are sending them terminals right away.
Ivanka Trump was one of the individuals assisting in providing some of the systems.
YUGE shout out to @IvankaTrump and the Love and Light Foundation for flying in 300 STARLINK units for the #helene victims of the #NorthCarolinaFlood ! #unitedisstrength #unitedcajunnavy #CajunNavy #Helene pic.twitter.com/H6QPX9OPHu

Kudos to Trump, Elon Musk, Ivanka, and others for coming together to support those in need.
