Surveying storm damage in North Carolina, former President Donald Trump on Monday blasted federal emergency responders whose work has been stymied by armed harassment and a deluge of misinformation, but he said he was not concerned that the aftermath of Hurricane Helene would affect election results in the battleground state.

The former president’s campaign has pushed for changes that mirror the ones he attacked when implemented in 2020 amid the pandemic.
