The difference between how President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are reacting in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and how former President Donald Trump is taking action shows the difference between “talking about being a leader and being a leader,” Trump campaign senior official Corey Lewandowski told Newsmax on Tuesday.
“This is a national tragedy,” Lewandowski told Newsmax’s “Wake Up America.” “People don’t truly understand how long it’s going to take to rebuild these communities … I have lived through a hurricane — Hurricane Ian — two years ago that devastated southwest Florida. It takes years for these communities to recover.”
What’s needed, he continued, is people who care.
A lot of these communities don’t even have electricity still,” said Lewandowski, noting that Trump contacted Elon Musk to bring in Starlink so the communities can communicate with their loved ones.
Trump has also started a GoFundMe account that has already raised more than $1.85 million as of Tuesday morning. He also arrived in Valdosta, Georgia, with truckloads of supplies.
But Biden and Harris, he commented, “have done nothing to help these people. I don’t want to make this political, but it will be reflected at the ballot box because when you are in your time of need the most, you look to those leaders who come to you and say, what can we do to help? That’s why we saw Donald Trump in Georgia yesterday.”
Biden has rejected claims from Trump that he’s not doing anything to command the situation, and plans to visit North Carolina on Wednesday.

RELATED: Donald Trump Bringing ‘Lots of Relief Material’ to Hurricane Victims
Published September 30, 2024
Former President Donald Trump is on his way to Valdosta, Georgia, to bring “lots of relief material” to victims of Hurricane Helene, explaining that he plans to go to North Carolina as well, but he first wants to make sure that local emergency management is focusing on helping the people most affected and “not concerned with me.”
“We are now heading to Valdosta, Georgia, in order to pay my respects and bring lots of relief material, including fuel, equipment, water, and other things, to the State,” Trump said in a Truth Social post Monday, previewing some of the other notable individuals who will be there.
“Many politicians and Law Enforcement will be there. We’ll be saying hello to Franklin Graham, Burt Jones, Tyler Harper, Mike Collins, Austin Scott, Russ Goodman, Sam Watson, and the Mayor of Valdosta Scott James. They are working very hard,” Trump continued, explaining that he plans to visit North Carolina very soon, but has not been able to yet logistically, as he does not want to take attention away from local officials who are helping the people affected by the storm.
“I was also going to stop into North Carolina, which has really been hit hard. I have a lot of supplies ready for them, but access and communication is now restricted, and we want to make sure that Local Emergency Management is able to focus on helping the people most affected, and not being concerned with me,” Trump explained. “I’ll be there shortly, but don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas. MAGA!”
