This election is more important than any election before.
Former President Donald Trump has expressed unwavering confidence that his loyal supporters in areas affected by Hurricane Helene will make their voices heard at the polls, no matter the obstacles they face. In a recent interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Trump emphasized that many Republican strongholds were significantly impacted by the storm, which made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane.
“Republican regions were hit hard,” Trump stated, acknowledging the loss of life and the uncertainty surrounding the number of missing individuals. He reiterated his belief that, despite the devastation, his supporters would prioritize voting. “I truly believe they’ll head to the polls, even if they have to crawl there,” he asserted.
Highlighting the efforts to facilitate voting, Trump mentioned that his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican National Committee, is actively working to ensure that residents in storm-stricken areas can reach the polls. “Lara and her team are doing everything possible to make it easier for people who have lost so much,” he said, recognizing the challenges they face.
In the midst of the storm’s aftermath, Trump critiqued the Biden administration’s response, suggesting it has been inadequate. “In North Carolina, the federal response has been disastrous,” he remarked, expressing disbelief at President Biden’s characterization of the recovery efforts as “robust.” Trump noted that during his visits to affected areas, he witnessed a lack of support and resources for those in need.
As the election approaches, Trump’s campaign appears to be gaining momentum in North Carolina and Georgia, where polls show him leading. “We’re doing well in these areas, and I think it’s due in part to the poor handling of the hurricane response,” he claimed. By mobilizing his base, Trump aims to turn adversity into a rallying cry, reinforcing the Republican spirit of resilience and determination.
