In true Biden fashion, when disaster strikes, he tends to make things worse.
The President, fresh from yet another beach vacation, faced questions about the federal response to Hurricane Helene, which ravaged parts of the southeastern United States, with western North Carolina bearing the brunt of the destruction. For some, it’s being called their own version of Hurricane Katrina.
During an exchange on Sunday, Biden was asked, “Do you have any words for the victims of the hurricane?”
His response? “We’ve given everything that we have.”
A follow-up question from the same reporter asked if the federal government had more resources to provide.
“No,” Biden bluntly replied, showing little empathy for those still reeling from the storm’s devastation. One would expect a more reassuring response from a sitting president. Instead, it was cold and indifferent.
As for Vice President Harris, she’s been nowhere to be found, aside from a staged photo op of her supposedly being briefed by FEMA. The picture raised eyebrows, though, since the headset in the photo didn’t appear to be plugged in, and the paper she was writing on looked suspiciously blank
While Biden was soaking up the sun at the beach and Harris was trying to get support from the the disaster her internal polls show her at , former President Donald Trump was on the ground in the disaster-ravaged areas.
Trump didn’t hesitate to connect with local officials and victims, offering encouragement and pledging to raise awareness about their struggles. His visit was a stark contrast to Biden’s distant, hands-off approach.

Biden’s reply was a complete trainwreck. Here’s how the exchange went down:
