Vice President Kamala Harris was spending a second day in North Carolina, hard-hit by Hurricane Helene, to worship with Black churchgoers and hold a campaign rally.<\/p>\n<p>Biden arrived in Tampa and flew by helicopter to St. Pete Beach, surveying the wreckage left behind by Milton, including the roof of Tropicana Field that was shorn off by the powerful storm\u2019s winds. Later, as the president\u2019s motorcade drove along the highway, piles of debris, tattered billboards, toppled fences, fallen trees and closed gas stations were seen. It passed through a neighborhood where almost every home had water damage and heaps of belongings were on the curb.<\/p>\n<p>The visit gave Biden another chance to press House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., for congressional approval of more aid money before the Nov. 5 election. Johnson said Sunday that lawmakers will deal with the issue after the election because of the amount of time it takes to come up with an estimate. He said on CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation\u201d that his \u201cguesstimate\u201d is that $100 billion will be needed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll provide the additional resources,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>In Florida, Biden was set to announce $612 million for six Department of Energy projects in areas affected by the hurricanes to improve the resilience of the region\u2019s electric grid, the White House said. The funding includes $94 million for two projects in Florida: $47 million for Gainesville Regional Utilities and $47 million for Switched Source to partner with Florida Power and Light. <\/p>\n<p>Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/harris-north-carolina-trump-hurricane-campaign-8961abd7d02bb95c6c6ba81a59ce9049\">visited Raleigh on Saturday<\/a><\/span> to meet with Black elected and religious leaders and help volunteers package personal care items for delivery to victims of Helene in the western part of the state.<\/p>\n<p>She was spending Sunday in Greenville, with plans to speak during a church service as part of her campaign\u2019s \u201cSouls to the Polls\u201d effort to help turn out Black churchgoers before Election Day.
