President Donald Trump will visit Valdosta, Georgia, on Monday following the devastation of Hurricane across the Southeastern United States.
The Trump campaign released the details in a Sunday press release.
“President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will visit Valdosta, Georgia to receive a briefing on the devastation of Hurricane Helene, facilitate the distribution of relief supplies, and deliver remarks to the press on Monday,” the announcement stated.
As RSBN previously reported, Trump called for prayers for those affected by Hurricane Helene during his Sunday rally in Erie, Pennsylvania.
“Before we begin, I’d like to send my love and prayers to the families of those who have died — a lot of death — and all of those who are displaced and suffering in the wake of the hurricane’s destruction in the South, especially in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and in particular, western North Carolina, [which] took a tremendous hit. It’s been absolutely devasted. May God be with you all,” Trump said.
He also criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their lack of response to storm victims.
“Biden is in Delaware sleeping right now in one of his many estates … Lyin’ Kamala Harris [is] in San Francisco, a city that she has totally destroyed — that’s where she is right now … at fundraising events with her Radical Left lunatic donors, when big parts of our country have been devastated by that massive hurricane and are underwater, with many, many people dead,” he added.
Hurricane Helene ravaged portions of the Florida coast late last week. The hurricane hit land, turning into a deadly tropical storm that caused widespread flooding in Georgia, Eastern Tennessee, Western North Carolina and South Carolina over the weekend.
More than 100 deaths have been confirmed, with hundreds of people still unaccounted for in one of the deadliest storms the nation has experienced in recent years. The North Carolina National Guard deployed 500 members, with other states sending guard service members to help.
As of early Monday, over 2 million homes and businesses remained without power, according to PowerOutage.us. Electricity and internet services could be out for weeks in some areas, with over 400 roads in Western North Carolina closed, including large portions of Interstate 40, a key road between the state and Tennessee.
