a short time ago i received a briefing on the situation here and valdosta from fema and the national guard as well as state and local officials. it's amazing the way it has all been pulled together. really amazing. we want to thank mayor scott jaynes donna james. where is scott? hey scott. really great job. i want to thank lieutenant governor bert jones and agricultural commissioner tyler harper presented as as i said before austin scott and mike collins and all of the others. i also want to thank governor brian kemp who's working round-the-clock to get this problem solved. he is working hard round-the-clock. we also have a salute to the incredible first responders, law enforcement heroes, and they are heroes. doctors, nurses, firefighters, coast guard, national guard who have been serving with such extraordinary grace and the work is incredible. no one thought they would see something like this. you are truly the best of america and you are appreciated by americans but sometimes you don't feel that way, but you are very much appreciated by america. i know each and every one of you i

he landed at the valdosta airport a short time ago. you know as well as i from covering this kind of thing for a long time, disasters are opportunities for incumbents, be they governors or presidents to be on the ground and look presidential. here you see donald trump not the incumbent, trying to lean in and take over that spot here in southern georgia by being the first of the major candidates on the ground here, just minutes after landing in valdosta, he spoke to reporters and hammered the administration over what he says has been a lack of federal response to this hurricane so far. listen to this. >> the federal government is not being responsive, but they're having a very hard time getting the president on the phone. he won't get on. and of course, the vice president, she's out some place campaigning, looking for money. so they have to be focused over here. it's too big. this is a really bad one. >> reporter: chris, i don't think there's any reason to believe that the president isn't reachable on the phone. the president is preside

he is on the ground in valdosta, georgia. know that a little while ago during the last hour, present biden spoke to the nation and literally could not finish answering questions it appeared because he was coughing so badly. we know that the current vice president now running for president kamala harris is cutting her campaigning a bit short to go back to the white house to get briefed on the situation. the nation's 45th president has gone to georgia, not an area that is directly in line that would impact anything, but close enough to make a difference which i would imagine the current president or vp could do. >> without a doubt. we should have seen joe biden at fema headquarters this weekend, should have seen kamala harris at fema headquarters this weekend, as president trump was the day hurricane laura hit as he repeatedly did. trump should be commended for going to georgia. what he is doing is putting a light on a huge issue. a lot of complaining over the weekend about other news organizations. we've covered it here at fox

, former president donald trump traveling to georgia, meeting with local officials in devastated valdosta. >> throughout the region, our hearts are with you. >> reporter: in georgia, a crucial battleground, trump repeatedly falsely stating that the state's republican governor brian kemp has not been able to reach president biden. >> the governor is doing a very good job, he's having a hard time getting the president on the phone, i guess they're not being responsive. the federal government is not being responsive. >> reporter: but earlier this morning, the republican governor said biden actually did call him over the weekend and offered his full support. >> i just spoke -- the president just called me yesterday afternoon. i missed him and called him right back, and he just said, "hey, what do you need?" and i told him, you know, we got what we need. we'll work through the federal process. he offered that if there's other things we need, just to call him directly, which i appreciate that. >> reporter: tonight at the white house, president biden furious, calling trump's claim irresponsible.

that's why he went to valdosta. biden and harris come under criticism.this went down. >> peter doocy asked karine jean-pierre at the white house briefing. listen here. >> people in western north carolina were drowning in their houses this weekend. others were losing everything, president biden is at his beach house and vice president harris was hosting political fundraisers on the west coast. is there a reason they could not be here? >> the president did exactly what a president in this moment needs to do which is directing his team to take action. >> john: he pushed back against that saying look i was on the phone the entire time which he likely wasn't do you have to be at the white house. >> he first said two hours and then the entire time. he was on the beach. republican president would be getting a lot of scrutiny about the president being yet again at the beach for yet another weekend have some very horrible things happening to americans whether you care about the politics. these are people in need of help. i think it would be some criticism of this

and the senator was in valdosta when we were there.ongressman rick allen and congressman scott yesterday. just know that we'll work in a bipartisan way in disaster relief in this state with our federal and state and local partners. we submitted our emergency declaration. this is something very rare. this will help us, i feel certain it approved by our federal partners. also, i've been texting back and forth and got an email from the fema director yesterday and with director stalls last evening and if there's anything we need to know about that. just on the power update, at one point, our highest total of outages was 1.3 million customers. and emc told us saturday, in valdosta, representing a lot of the rural counties in the hurricane that was the worst they'd ever seen they had 500 poles broken. this storm, they have 1,000. our emcs have restored 208,644 customers. they 435,000 out at peak. obviously, our dmcs are dealing with rural areas, it's harder to get to, there's a lot more trees, long stretches of roads that they need to go dow

i want to thank mayor scott james valdosta who's worse, got thank you. really great job i want to thank lieutenant governor burt jones and agricultural commissioner tyler harper, representatives. as i said before, austin scott and mike collins and all of the others present. i also want to thank governor brian kemp was working around the clock to get this problem solved. he he's working hard around round-the-clock we also have a salute to the incredible first responders law enforcement heroes, and they are here as doctors, nurses firefighters, coast guard, national guard who had been serving with such extraordinary grace. and the work is incredible. nobody thought that see something like this you are the best you are truly the best of america and you're appreciated by america. sometimes you don't feel that way, but you very much appreciated by america and i know each and every view is is giving to this community of everything you have. you're doing things that you wouldn't normally even think about doing the people on the ground are doing the best they ca

i want to thank mayor scott james of valdosta, where is scott? where is scott? hey, scott.eally great. really greatjob. i want to thank lieutenant governor bert jones in agriculture commissioner tyler harper, representatives i said before austin scott and micah allen. and all of the others... just austin scott and micah allen. and all of the others. . .- and all of the others... just a flavour of _ and all of the others... just a flavour of the _ and all of the others... just a flavour of the remarks - and all of the others... just a flavour of the remarks from l flavour of the remarks from donald trump. we will keep listening across that and bring you any significant lines there and so many communities across the many states they are in the us deal with the aftermath of hurricane helene. we head to the middle east. there are reports tonight that a us official says israel intends to launch a ground offensive in lebanon, which could begin as soon as today. israeli tanks are gathering by the country's northern border. israel's defense minister, who was visiting troops today,

he is in valdosta, georgia, where he is going to tour the damage down there.bout 15 miles north of the border with florida. between the atlantic ocean and alabama. a lot of folks there are hurting. much in the same way that they are up there in north carolina and some parts of south carolina, some parts of southwestern virginia and on into tennessee and kentucky. >> sandra: he spoke earlier and said while his opponent in the presidential election is out campaigning, he is there with the people on the ground. obviously making this an election issue. he is on the ground, he has been helping out hand out supplies in georgia rose. some of the areas there in georgia. but you just look at the devastation that these states are still dealing with. that interview with the mayor earlier this hour in north carolina. how they are still trying to get to people and some of these isolated areas who desperately need water. the lack of communication, the lack of ability to communicate with authorities to be able to come in and help them get what they need. it is still dire as

valdosta.oks a little bit better and that's saying something because it still looks pretty nasty out there. tell me what you've been experiencing, especially as you took on the outer eyewall not too long ago. yeah, well, we will tell you that conditions still aren't great out here. the rain has slowed down a little bit in the last couple of minutes, but this wind is still an issue tonight. i will tell you, in the last 20 minutes since we our last live shot, i should say, we did lose power. and this hotel, you can see that the area behind us is still a lot darker right now. so hotel without power, we haven't had any lights on or any power in about the last 20 minutes here. and that's really the case right now for the entire area. we just checked in with loudoun county emergency management. and right now in this county alone, 60,000 customers without power and the state of georgia, around 160,000 customers are without power. so this is certainly going to be an issue throughout the night. i will a

i know that former president trump will be in valdosta today. getting a briefing from our folks, but also hearing from the locals in regards to storm response no, senator warnock is here today. senator ossoff was in valdosta on saturday when we were there. obviously we've been in communications with congressman rick allen and congressman austin scott was with us yesterday, just know that we will work in a bipartisan way on disaster relief in this state with our federal, state, and local partners we have submitted our expedited emergency declaration that's georgia governor brian kemp holding a news conference in augusta, georgia. i mean, we should keep in mind and we're note this to our viewers here. when you see news conferences from governors in places like augusta, when we're talking to mayors and places like asheville, north carolina, these hurricanes and the impact exit they have not just happening on the coast anymore, but happening hundreds of miles away from those coast in different parts of the country. look at chimney rock north carolin

we are deploying generators, especially in the valdosta area to help power traffic signals from dots perspective, some of the north west georgia crews that the damage wasn't quite as bad on the roads there now shifting to south georgia to help our hardest hit areas we are in pretty good shape on bridges around the state, which is good and our port while it has limited operations, it is, it is operational and has been the entire storm one thing to note up in northeast georgia and reitman county there's going to be a water release out of lake rayburn because of the flooding that's happening. we are evacuating folks downstream from that, so they're not cut off from the rest of the community. if they don't leave now, they're going to be stuck there for at least a day or multiple hours and director stallings can give you more information on that, but just be aware that there's going to be awarded release it, like rayburn. we've had some 911 disruptions, as you can imagine, there's a lot of 911 facilities, even the state operations center here earlier has had issues with power and we know

and so the southern and eastern drawers valdosta make and are likely to see serious wins to the category one category to hurricane strength levels. and remember, hurricanes are not usually inland things. the factor we're expecting inland. hurricane impacts is mind boggling is the point where the entire state of georgia is under hurricane or tropical storm warnings, which is so unbelievably unusual. and my big concern is that the type of tree we have there, the southern pine falls down and winds around 90 or a 100 kilometers per hour. add another 50 plus kilometers per hour on top of that. and you're beginning to see just why this will be so bad. and in addition to that, there been inland flood issues. we've seen about 25 centimeters worth of rain from moisture streaming north. the head of helene, in the caroline is causing something called the predecessor rain event, big flooding in the mountains. so this is such a wide reaching system with devastating impacts for a lot of people. and i hope that people take it seriously. urologist and drills. matthew concludes your reporting from the bi

nbc's garrett haake is live in the hard-hit city of valdosta. we see the former president is behind the podium. what's he saying? >> reporter: that's right, chris. the former president got here a few minutes ago. excuse me if i use my golf voice. a delegation of georgia officials are giving remarks about what he's seeing here so far today. he toured a command center, he met with the owners of the business mind me, which you can see has been hit quite hard in downtown valdosta, georgia. the damage is not as extensive as other part of the state and other parts of the country, but significant. power outages and a lot of downed trees and downed lines on a day that's approaching 90 degrees. a difficult situation for the folks who live here. trump is bringing in aid, bringing attention to what's happened in georgia. his earlier remarks at the airport were much more partisan, suggesting that the president and the federal government had been asleep at the switch on their response. brian kemp said that's not true. he spoke to joe biden yesterday, and in

in the next hour, former president donald trump will make remarks as he visits hurricane ravaged valdosta, georgia. he landed there in the last hour to see that damage firsthand and get a briefing. georgia, of course, a key battleground state in the presidential election. >> yeah, trump's visit is coming after he criticized vice president harris for holding campaign events over the weekend instead of helping impacted communities. we do note that the former president also continued on with his regularly scheduled campaign rallies. we have cnn's kristen holmes with us now. kristen, what is trump's goal with this trip today? >> well, look, they had been telling me that they were going to try to travel every single day from now until the election, or as many days as they could with a lot of these stops in battle well, grounds, states and there was a plan to go to georgia today before the storm hit, before the devastation that we're talking about, a rally. they were talking about a messaging event obviously, everything changed it's that storm took place now, what donald trump is going to say,

. >> so of valdosta, georgia. and you're thinking, wait georgia how can that be across the state line? this is going to hold together. this is going to stay a category two hurricane at least for about 100 miles inland. so what we have right now, this is 8:00 advisory at five miles per hour and that's what we were at 5:00 let me be honest. this is probably not an 85 mile per hour storm right now, probably 75 or 80 is it's flattened out over the past three hours. that is absolutely great because it could be a 95 mile per hour storm but it's not there. we have two airplanes and they've storm right now, hurricane hunters looking at it, not seeing it yet, but i think it's going to recover as the nightfalls, the sunsets, that everything calms down, the sheer calms down, and then the forecast comes through as it comes all the way up to the west of tampa. at one-thirty. now, this does not mean tampa is going to get a category four wind category four is only going to be confined to that eye-wall itself, that coming up here

he's been speaking in valdosta, georgia, where he struck a different tone than earlier in the week —ris mentally impaired. the former president said politics should be put aside to help those in need. i know our country is in the final weeks of a hard—fought election for the better time like this when a crisis hits, when ourfellow citizens cry out in need, none of that matters. we're not talking about politics now, we have to get together and get this solved. we need a lot of help down here. we pulled together, we pitching, we persevere and we pull it through. that is really the american spirit. that is really the american spirit. that is really the american spirit. that is what made america originally great. that is what made america originally great. while vice president harris holds a slight lead in most national polls — in the battleground states — she's virutally tied with former president trump. a new poll from our us partner shows that — in the states that could swing either republian or democrat — the two candidates are neck and neck. the polls shows them tied in arizona — wh
