Harris calls Trump’s misinformation on hurricane recovery resources ‘irresponsible’

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp speak to the press about the impact of Hurricane Helene, in Evans

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday said former President Donald Trump is pushing misinformation out on resources available to survivors of Hurricane Helene, calling it “extraordinarily irresponsible.”

Harris, a Democrat, and Trump, a Republican, are competing to win the White House in the Nov. 5 election. Harris also said that “playing political games” is “utterly irresponsible,” when asked about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis not taking her calls ahead of Hurricane Milton.
