Trump says Helene survivors are worth only $200 a day, not $750.

No, Biden didn't say he's done sending aid to Hurricane Helene victims |
The claim: Biden said he's not giving any more aid to Hurricane Helene
victims

A Sept. 30 Instagram video (direct link, archive link) posted by
conservative commentator David Harris Jr. shows President Joe Biden
speaking with reporters about Hurricane Helene and those impacted by the
storm. He tells one reporter, "We've given them all, everything we have."

When one reporter asks Biden if there are any additional resources the
government could be providing, Biden says, "No, we've given them, we've
pre-planned a significant amount of it, even though they didn't ask for it
yet."

Text within the post, which was originally shared on X, formerly Twitter,
reads, in part, "Joe Biden says no more additional resources will be given
to those affected by Hurricane Helene."

The Instagram post accumulated more than 50,000 likes in a day. Other
versions of the claim were shared on Instagram and Facebook.

This a misrepresentation of Biden's statement and the reporter's question.
The president said the government had provided all the available resources
available at the time, not that there would be no additional aid. He later
said more aid would be forthcoming for those affected by the hurricane.
Biden didn't say no more aid for hurricane victims

Hurricane Helene's death toll surpassed 160 on Oct. 2, making it one of
the deadliest hurricanes to hit the U.S. mainland. Data from the National
Hurricane Center shows the current death toll would rank Helene as the
sixth-deadliest hurricane since record-keeping began. Hundreds of people
are still missing.

Biden declared the hurricane a "major disaster" in a Sept. 28 statement
and ordered federal aid for the areas affected by the storm. This aid
includes grants for temporary housing, home repairs and low-cost loans to
cover uninsured property losses.

However, Biden didn't say this would be the only aid the hurricane victims
would be receiving.

The video clip included in the Instagram post shows Biden briefly
responding to reporters' questions on Sept. 29 at Dover Air Force Base in
Delaware, according to C-SPAN. After Biden said the government had given
hurricane victims "everything we have," a reporter asked, "Are there any
more resources the federal government could be giving them?"

The reporter didn't ask if the government would be allocating more aid in
the future.

As can be seen in the post, Biden replied by saying, "No. We�ve given
them � we have preplanned a significant amount of it, even though they
didn�t ask for it yet � hadn�t asked for it yet."

A transcript of this exchange published by the White House reaffirms this.

Jeremy Edwards, a White House spokesperson, told USA TODAY the video shows
Biden "clearly referring to all we have done for the communities impacted
by Hurricane Helene."

"At the direction of President Biden, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell
is in North Carolina and will remain there until the situation has
stabilized," Edwards said. "FEMA and other agencies have more than 1,200
personnel in North Carolina, with more resources and staff arriving
daily."

Fact check: Unrelated storm footage falsely linked to Hurricane Helene

On Sept. 30, the day after the interview shown in the clip, the president
said he would be asking Congress for a supplemental aid bill for those
affected by the storm.

"We know there is more to do, and we will continue to surge resources,
including food, water, communications and lifesaving equipment," Biden
said. "We'll be there, as I said before, and I mean it, as long as it
takes to finish this job."That same day, Homeland Security Adviser
Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall spoke about the aid that had already been
distributed in the Southeast in a press briefing and said, "More will
follow as we know more about the impacts."

The White House detailed the resources already allocated in the affected
areas in a Sept. 30 statement and said, "President Biden has spoken with
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, South
Carolina Governor Henry McMaster and Asheville Mayor Esther Manheimer,
along with other state and local officials in the impacted areas to offer
further assistance as needed."

The post also attempts to compare aid for Hurricane Helene victims with
aid for Ukraine, saying Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris "just gave
Ukraine billions more."

Biden announced a new $8 billion military aid package for Ukraine on Sept.
26, hours before the storm touched down in Florida. USA TODAY reported
that this package will include air defense weapons, drones and bombs.

USA TODAY reached out to Harris Jr. and Biden's representatives for
comment but did not immediately receive a response.

PolitiFact also debunked the claim.
