President Biden is announcing details of Hurricane Helene relief efforts going to North Carolina. Speaking from the Emergency Operations Center in Raleigh Wednesday, the President said he approved Governor Roy Cooper's request to cover 100% of the costs of debris removal and emergency protective measures for six months. Biden stressed the bipartisan efforts to help storm victims, saying there are no Democrats or Republicans, only Americans. He said their job is to help as many people as they can and as quickly and thoroughly as they can. The President's remarks came after he took an aerial tour of the areas hit hardest by flooding caused by Helene.
