Georgia Governor Brian Kemp criticized the Harris-Biden administration for responding slowly to Hurricane Helene’s devastation in rural communities, leaving over 25 dead. Kemp expressed frustration at having to request additional Georgia counties be included in Biden’s disaster declaration. Initially, only 11 counties were covered, despite nearly 90 facing significant damage. Biden stated that all Georgia counties will likely be eligible for FEMA aid. Critics have questioned Biden’s handling of the disaster, especially as federal aid appeared limited while billions were allocated elsewhere. Biden chose to monitor the situation from his Delaware home instead of the White House, a decision that faced backlash.
