Biden and Harris go to hurricane-hit states
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will visit two of the hurricane-affected areas in the southeastern United States on Wednesday, several media outlets write.
Biden is due to go to North Carolina, where at least 74 people have so far been confirmed dead after the storm. He will survey the damage from the air, according to the White House. Biden himself says that it is because he does not want to interfere with the rescue work.
Harris, for his part, goes to the neighboring state of Georgia, where at least 25 people have died.
In a statement from the White House, it was announced that Biden will also stop in South Carolina and meet with representatives from the emergency services.

The death toll rises again - new hurricane over the Atlantic
At least 155 people have been confirmed dead in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which moved across the southeastern United States. This is reported by AFP.
More than 100 of them have died in North and South Carolina, the others in Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia, writes the news agency and refers to official figures.
- We understand the unfathomable devastation that Hurricane Helene has left behind. Entire communities have been washed away, says North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper during a press conference.
At the same time, the storm Kirk increased to hurricane strength in the eastern Atlantic on Tuesday and may increase in additional wind strength during Thursday, according to authorities according to AP. Kirk is currently halfway between South Africa and the US East Coast, according to the New York Times live map.
At present, however, Kirk is deemed to pose no immediate threat to land and no warnings have been issued.
