Trump is already preparing for JD Vance to lose the vice presidential debate

However, at the end of that message, he added an unsubstantiated accusation, claiming that he had received reports from “the federal government and the Democratic governor of…” [North Carolina]They go out of their way to not help people in Republican areas.”

Trump did not elaborate on where these “reports” came from, which appear to have no factual basis. Much of North Carolina votes Republican, so it would be nearly impossible to pass relief measures that conservatives would neglect. Roy Cooper, the state's Democratic governor since 2017, has deployed and taken over the National Guard nationwide efforts to help those affected by the hurricane that hit his state the hardest and claimed lives almost 50 people and hundreds of thousands of households are without power.

President Biden has pledged “every available resource, as quickly as possible, to your communities to rescue, restore and begin rebuilding,” and even plans to visit hurricane-affected communities later this week. On Sunday, Biden approved disaster declarations for both Florida and North Carolina, allowing immediate access to emergency funding for recovery efforts.
