Harris visits North Carolina, in second trip to areas ravaged by Helene

CHARLOTTE — Vice President Kamala Harris took her second trip in four days to a hurricane-ravaged state, meeting with victims and first responders in North Carolina on Saturday as the administration combats criticism and false claims that its storm response is too anemic. Fresh off a Midwest campaign swing, Harris visited a North Carolina Air National Guard base at Charlotte’s airport, where she received a briefing alongside a phalanx of state elected officials. The guard has airlifted more than 100,000 pounds of food to parts of the state most heavily affected by Hurricane Helene.
