Hurricane Helene cause big trouble for many people in North Carolina, especially for those wey dey western part of the state. Many voters still dey without power or water, and some election precincts don change because of the disaster. But despite all these challenges, early voting don start, and over 1 million votes already cast since last Thursday.
Trump’s campaign stops include visits to areas wey the hurricane hit hard, and he also criticize the government’s response to the disaster. On the other hand, Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, also dey campaign hard in North Carolina.
