Harris wants one thing: the White House. She has no interest in serving Americans.
And now Kamala Harris is getting panned for these revolting actions against this group of Americans.
While millions of Americans faced the gut-wrenching reality of losing their homes, Vice President Kamala Harris was busy campaigning across the country, seemingly unfazed by the unfolding disaster.
Hurricane Helene, a catastrophic Category 4 storm, made landfall in Florida on Thursday before wreaking havoc across Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
Virginia and other states also bore the brunt. The storm claimed over 175 lives, with hundreds still missing, authorities reported.
A week after the storm hit, President Joe Biden and Harris finally made their way to the disaster zone—Biden to the Carolinas, and Harris to Georgia. But their sluggish response raised eyebrows, and rightly so.
The pair defended their delayed visit by claiming they didn’t want to disrupt emergency efforts. A curious excuse from leaders who are supposed to be at the helm in times of crisis.
Criticism mounted as both Biden and Harris were notably absent from the White House while Helene ravaged the Southeast. Biden enjoyed a beach retreat in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, instead of monitoring the situation closely.
When questioned about his lack of presence, Biden quipped, “I was commanding it. I was on the phone for at least two hours… It’s called a telephone.” Not exactly the hands-on leadership Americans might expect in the face of disaster.
While Biden cut his vacation short and returned to Washington on Sunday, Harris was still on her West Coast campaign trail, seemingly more concerned with her political future than the devastation back East.
In the storm’s aftermath, she visited Arizona to pose for photos in front of a section of Trump’s border wall—the same wall she once disparaged as a “medieval vanity project.”
From there, she hopped over to California, where she spent the weekend raising millions of dollars at high-dollar fundraisers in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The devastation from Hurricane Helene, it seemed, was little more than an afterthought.
Even as she issued a statement on Saturday expressing sympathy for hurricane victims, Harris was raising over $28 million at a Los Angeles event.
Her words of concern, while delivering a fundraising windfall, felt disconnected from the dire reality facing American families.
While Harris was focused on securing campaign dollars, Donald Trump took a decidedly different approach.
He launched a GoFundMe page for hurricane victims, raising over $3 million in a matter of hours.
Trump, always one to take action, was briefed by FEMA in Georgia and even visited devastated neighborhoods on Sunday, offering direct support to those affected.
Harris, meanwhile, seemed to treat the disaster as an inconvenience, briefly interrupting her campaign tour for a phone briefing from FEMA before heading to yet another rally in Las Vegas.
She did eventually cut her Nevada trip short and returned to Washington, but the delay left many wondering whether she was more concerned about political appearances than the suffering of hurricane victims.
As Americans rebuild their lives, it’s clear who prioritized action—and who prioritized ambition.
