‘People are giving, sharing’: Augusta comes together as Kamala Harris surveys damage

As the vice-president visited the Georgia city shattered by Helene, the sense of community spirit was palpable

As Kamala Harris descended Wednesday into Augusta, she met a city contemplating how much of their lives have been unmade by Hurricane Helene.

I am here to personally take a look at the devastation," Harris said after receiving a briefing by emergency response leaders in Georgia. It's particularly devastating in terms of loss of life that this community has experienced, the loss of normalcy, and the loss of critical resources."
