Rep. Greg Murphy cautions Helene devastation could 'flip' the election

Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) warned that Hurricane Helene and its lasting effects could seriously hurt voter turnout for the 2024 election, where early voting is scheduled to get underway in a matter of days.

Murphy discussed how the west part of his home state has been “devastated” by the flooding caused by the hurricane, with many residents being “stranded” due to being unable to leave their homes. The natural disaster North Carolina is dealing with comes as it has become a swing state between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, with polling data indicating a tight race between the two.
