JD Vance has called on the Biden–Harris administration to get “its act together” in a scathing critique of the government’s disaster management as Hurricane Milton barrels towards Florida.
The Ohio Senator and Republican vice presidential nominee said that the incumbents’ handling of recent natural disasters was worse than the Obama administration, and had resulted in undue suffering for the storm-hit communities across the Southeast. With only 26 days left in the close-knit presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris’s response to Hurricane Helene, the deadliest since Katrina, could prove decisive.
“The Biden-Harris response to Hurricane Helene, the deadliest storm since Katrina, has the people of the Southeast and especially Appalachia paying an extraordinary price for the administration’s incompetence,” Vance wrote in a Tuesday column for The Wall Street Journal.
