The scale of destruction is overwhelming, especially in North Carolina, where entire communities remain submerged in floodwaters, cut off from critical supplies. Millions are without power, and the situation is growing more desperate by the hour. Families are stranded, with no access to food, water, or essential resources.
Despite the dire situation, President Joe Biden was asked on Sunday whether the federal government plans to send additional aid to these storm-battered communities. His response left many shocked. “We’ve given all we have,” Biden stated bluntly when pressed about what more could be done to support these victims.
When asked for his thoughts on the devastation, Biden responded, “Yes. As a matter of fact, we’re trying to get the exact number. My FEMA advisors [are] on the ground in Florida right now. There’s a distinction between the numbers that FEMA’s used and the ones that are used by the locals. So it really is amazing. You saw the photographs. It’s stunning. It’s unbelievable. It really is. It really is.”
Though the president acknowledged the magnitude of the disaster, he quickly followed up by making it clear that no additional resources would be forthcoming. “We’ve given them all… Everything that we have, we’re on the ground ahead of time. So we’re working hard,” Biden said, indicating that pre-planned resources had already been deployed. When a reporter pressed him further, asking, “Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?” Biden’s terse response was, “No, we’ve given them… We have pre-planned a significant amount of it, even though they didn’t ask for it yet. They hadn’t asked for it yet.”
Biden’s remarks, combined with the administration’s limited visible presence in the affected regions, have sparked outrage among those who believe the federal government’s response is inadequate. Criticism is mounting that the administration has left devastated communities to fend for themselves.

For many in the flood-ravaged areas, Biden’s words have only deepened their sense of abandonment. With entire neighborhoods underwater and rescue operations struggling to reach stranded families, the need for more resources is immediate and pressing. Yet, Biden’s statement that “we’ve given all we have” signals to many that the federal government’s hands are tied, leaving countless Americans in the storm’s path to wonder what comes next.
As the death toll continues to rise, the lack of a coordinated response has put the administration under increasing scrutiny. Biden’s handling of Hurricane Helene is likely to become a point of contention as communities across the southeastern U.S. look for leadership in the face of such unprecedented destruction. While FEMA is reportedly on the ground, the president’s message has left little hope for additional assistance.
For now, those suffering in the wake of Hurricane Helene must rely on local efforts, state resources, and the goodwill of neighboring communities. The question remains: will the Biden administration change course and offer further support, or are these devastated regions truly on their own? The coming days will reveal whether the White House’s stance evolves in the face of growing calls for action.
