Trump tours Helene-hit North Carolina on first trip of second term

() President Donald Trump will kick off his first cross-country tour of his second term Friday, visiting disaster areas in North Carolina and California before heading to Nevada on Saturday for a rally.

The tour comes as Trump considers overhauling the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), floating the idea that he’d rather see states handle their “own problems.”

Friday’s focus is on two major disaster zones.

Trump’s first stop is North Carolina, a state he visited in the wake of Hurricane Helene while still campaigning for the White House.

He’ll return as he renews his criticism of the Biden administration, accusing it and FEMA of abandoning North Carolina, which still faces more than $50 billion in damage.

After the Tar Heel State, Trump will head to California, where wildfires continue to burn and first responders work to contain the blazes.

On Saturday, his trip to Nevada will strike a different tone as he thanks voters for giving him his first win in the state. He’s expected to highlight his “no tax on tips” campaign promises.
