In a brief exchange with reporters, he described the impact of the storm as \u201cstunning\u201d and said that the administration is giving states \u201ceverything we have\u201d to help with their response to the storm.<\/p>\n<p>Biden planned to speak about the administration\u2019s response efforts in remarks from the White House on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The White House also said Vice President Kamala Harris will visit the storm-ravaged areas \u201cas soon as it is possible without disrupting emergency response operations.\u201d At a Las Vegas rally Sunday night, Harris spoke about the impact of Helene, saying, \u201cI know everyone here sends their thoughts and prayer for the folks who have been so devastated by that hurricane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cWe will stand with these communities for as long as it takes and make sure they are able to rebuild.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris was spending Sunday night in Las Vegas and had planned campaign stops in the city on Monday. But her office announced that she\u2019d instead head back to Washington earlier than expected and will attend a briefing on the damage caused by Helene at the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. <\/p>\n<p>A North Carolina county that includes the mountain city of Asheville reported earlier Sunday that 30 people were killed due to the storm, pushing the overall death toll to at least 91 people across several states.<\/p>\n<p>Biden on Sunday evening made calls to several state and local government officials in areas impacted by the hurricane, including Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp; North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper; Valdosta, Georgia Mayor Scott Matheson; and Taylor County, Florida Emergency Management Director John Louk.<\/p>\n<p>Biden told the officials the administration \u201cwill continue providing support to impacted communities \u2014 for as long as it takes,\u201d according to the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, who spent much of the weekend at his beach house in Delaware, has received frequent updates on the storm from FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell, homeland security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall and other officials. Harris received similar briefings while on board Air Force Two, according to the White House.<\/p>\n<p>The White House said Biden directed Criswell to figure out what can be done to accelerate support to isolated communities that are having difficulty accessing assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Former President <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a><\/span> campaign announced earlier Sunday he\u2019ll visit Valdosta, Georgia, on Monday to survey Helene\u2019s impact on that state, one of several hotly contested battlegrounds that will be pivotal in the <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/election-2024\">November presidential election<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is expected to receive a briefing, facilitate the distribution of relief supplies and deliver remarks during the visit, according to his campaign.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/hurricane-helene-recover-biden-visit-823be75adbed4fa1d7c108a207dbb3e3\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden says he will visit Hurricane Helene-impacted areas this week as long as it does not disrupt rescue and recovery operations.
