Hurricane Helene has left a significant mark on the southeastern United States, causing massive destruction and at least 137 fatalities. The storm has become a pivotal issue in the ongoing presidential campaign.

Kamala Harris is actively coordinating relief efforts, while Joe Biden has announced his visit to the affected areas. Former President Donald Trump has promised assistance and criticized the Biden administration's response time.

The storm's impact is especially severe in swing states like Georgia and North Carolina, which has complicated the election process with destroyed polling sites and disrupted mail services. Biden links the disaster to climate change, highlighting the urgency of addressing this global issue.

Meanwhile, Trump, who has previously downplayed climate change, now uses the disaster to criticize his opponents. This catastrophe has not only brought immense human suffering and infrastructural damage but has also intensified the political climate as candidates leverage the situation in their campaigns.
