Images of disasters emerge one after another: homes damaged by hurricanes, homes destroyed by raging wildfires, skies dyed orange by smoke. In the photo, Trump can be seen staring straight into the camera, and in the video clip, he can be seen plunging at the Puerto Rican victim, throwing a paper towel as if he was shooting a free throw in a basketball game.
As the music becomes more upbeat, Harris is shown meeting with victims of the storm. Trump can be seen waiting alone on the airport tarmac, then at the White House, shaking hands with guests and applauding them.

The timing and placement of your ads are just as important as their content. Parts of Georgia and North Carolina are just beginning to recover from Hurricane Helen, and many parts of the country just watched on television as Hurricane Milton pummeled Florida.
The Harris campaign aims to warn voters that if Trump is president and another natural disaster occurs, his response will be influenced by politics.
This is a difficult path for the vice president.
