### Back-to-Back Hurricanes Rock Harris-Trump Presidential Campaign

**Hurricane Milton Threatens Florida as Harris and Trump Campaign**

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are under scrutiny as back-to-back hurricanes, Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, threaten the Southeast and Florida, respectively. Harris and Trump have been criticized for their responses to the natural disasters, with Harris facing criticism for attending a fundraising event in California during Hurricane Helene and Trump spreading misinformation about the storms.

**Campaign Activities Postponed Due to Hurricanes**

The impending storms have forced both candidates to adjust their campaign schedules. Trump has postponed a virtual event focused on healthcare and a Univision town hall in Miami, while Harris will virtually attend a briefing on the storm and federal response before heading to Nevada for a Univision town hall.

**Hurricane Response Criticisms**

Harris has hit back at Trump’s claims about disaster relief, calling his comments “the height of irresponsibility and callousness.” She emphasized the need for cooperation between federal, state, and local authorities in disaster response, criticizing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for not coordinating effectively with her.

**Campaign Rhetoric Intensifies**

The hurricane situation has intensified the campaign rhetoric, with Harris declining to distance herself from President Joe Biden’s record and Trump accusing her of saying she would have done nothing different than Biden. Harris also criticized Trump for secretly sending COVID-19 test kits to Russian President Vladimir Putin during the pandemic, calling it a stark example of his priorities.
