The Biden-Harris administration faced criticism for its handling of Hurricane Helene, which left Americans in the Carolinas suffering without power for days. The storm made landfall on September 14, 2022, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was slow to respond, according to local officials and residents. Power outages affected over 500,000 customers, and some areas remained without electricity for over a week. The administration’s response was compared unfavorably to President Trump’s handling of Hurricane Dorian in 2019.
