Former President Donald Trump visited western North Carolina on Friday, bringing a strong message of support to residents still reeling from the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene. The hurricane, which struck the region in September, left 219 dead and caused nearly $80 billion in damages. Trump’s visit highlighted his commitment to ensuring a swift recovery for the people of the Tarheel State, while sharply criticizing the Biden administration’s response.
