With 31 days to go until election day, the White House was pressed on Friday on how communities in areas ravaged by Hurricane Helene will be able to vote come Election Day.
Many communities in the storm's path across the southeast have faced devastation, including infrastructure, houses, and businesses washing away in floods.
North Carolina, particularly devestated, is a key battleground state this election.
While larger cities such as Asheville, North Carolina and Tampa Bay, Florida sustained severe damages, smaller towns like Chimney Rock in North Carolina were nearly wiped off the map.
Over 200 people have been reported dead and hundreds more are still unaccounted for.
The storm dumped over 40 trillion gallons of rain over the southeast, which is equivalent to the capacity of Lake Tahoe, the Associated Press reported.
The Biden-Harris administration has offered just $750 to victims of the storm.
