Kamala Harris: Hurricane Response Is the Best ‘Example of the Importance of Having Leadership’

TRANSCRIPT:

HARRIS: "You mentioned the hurricanes. I’ll start by speaking to all of the people who are living in the southeast corridor, who have been so devastated by Hurricane Helene, Milton. And I cannot stress enough the work that we have been doing around the clock to make sure that the federal resources are on the ground, in partnership with state and local leaders, to do the work of giving people the relief they need so immediately, plus a commitment to helping people in the long-term. I do think that the crisis that we have just experienced and the ongoing effects of it because of these hurricanes are yet another example of the importance of having leadership at a moment of crisis who understands their role and responsibility."
