Trump’s attempt to project leadership amid Hurricane Helene was marked by vague assertions about conversations with FEMA and Elon Musk regarding recovery efforts, though much of his messaging seemed to echo disappointments from past crises.

However, amid the grief from Hurricane Helene's aftermath, there's an underlying awareness that disaster politics influence voter sentiment, especially with the 2024 elections on the horizon.
