2024 election updates: Harris campaign launches ad on Jan. 6 debate clash between Walz, Vance
The ad is part of the campaign's $370 million fall media push.
With just 34 days until Election Day, the presidential campaigns are reacting to Tuesday's vice presidential debate between Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance.
Both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remain focused on the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. In addition to President Joe Biden's travel to North Carolina and South Carolina on Wednesday, Harris will be traveling to Georgia to survey the impacts of the disaster -- days after Trump did the same.
Both candidates are also focused on the escalation in the Middle East after Iran's attack on Israel.

Harris to tour Helene damage in Georgia Wednesday

"The Vice President will also provide updates on Federal actions that are being taken to support emergency response and recovery efforts in Georgia and several other states throughout the southeast," her office said in a statement.
The tour will be at the same time that President Joe Biden visits areas in the Carolinas that were struck hardest by the storm.

Trump claims Musk will help Helene victims
Standing in front of a destroyed furniture store in Valdosta, Georgia, former President Donald Trump claimed he’s requested help from Elon Musk and will be traveling to North Carolina when conditions clear.
“They don't have communication. … I just spoke to Elon,” he said. “We want to get Starlink hooked up because they have no communication whatsoever. And Elon will always come through.”
“As you know, our country is in the final weeks of a hard-fought national election. But in a time like this when a crisis hits, when our fellow citizens cry out in need, none of that matters,” Trump said before later suggesting the Biden-Harris administration wasn’t doing enough and falsely claiming that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp couldn’t get ahold of the president.

Fact check: Biden and Georgia's governor have spoken
Trump incorrectly claimed that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and President Joe Biden haven’t been in touch since Hurricane Helene devastated parts of the Southeast, making clear that his already controversial visit to the hard-hit state is a political one.
“I spoke with, for a couple hours, leaders yesterday affected by the hurricane,” Biden said Monday morning. “Governor Kemp of Georgia, Governor Cooper of North Carolina, county officials in the Big Bend region of Florida and other leaders in South Carolina and Tennessee.”
Kemp on Monday acknowledged the call with Biden and said he and Harris had been trying to speak.
