Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) pushed back against accusations that former President Donald Trump is politicizing Hurricane Helene disaster relief, suggesting the Biden administration was “overmatched” by current events again.

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Sunday he ordered another 500 active-duty troops to move into western North Carolina and assist with the response and recovery efforts after the deadly and devastating Hurricane Helene.

The president visited areas ravaged by the deadly storm on Thursday but the answer he gave to a reporter's question has triggered anger on social media.

The response to Hurricane Helene's devastating landfall last month has been hampered by a slew of conspiracy theories and rapidly spreading misinformation about federal assistance to hard-hit communities,

Biden also approved the deployment of up to 1,000 active-duty U.S. soldiers to reinforce North Carolina National Guard members in the state.

A reporter asked the U.S. president, "Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?" His response inspired the rumor.

Biden didn’t say he wouldn’t give more aid for hurricane victims. Viral social media posts misrepresent an exchange between Biden and a reporter on Sept. 29.

U.S. President Joe Biden announced that his administration has provided more than $137 million in individual assistance to communities impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Hurricane Helene disaster relief can't wait until the nation's lawmakers get back to work in November, President Joe Biden said in a letter to congressional leaders Friday.
