Speaking about Hurricane Helene at a campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, Harris said, “The president and I have told state and local leaders we will provide whatever help they need in the days and weeks ahead.”
Harris says she would ‘double’ DOJ resources to crack down on cartels
LAS VEGAS — Harris said yesterday that she would “double” Justice Department resources to crack down on cartels and cut the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., just hours after Trump repeated his false claim that she wants to legalize the drug.
“As president, I will double the resources for the Department of Justice to go after those transnational cartels and take action to stop the flow of fentanyl coming into our country, which is destroying entire communities,” Harris said in her speech here.
She made similar comments during her trip to the southern border in Arizona on Friday.
At a rally Saturday, Trump also discussed fentanyl, baselessly claiming Harris wants to legalize it.
Trump ramps up his pace of campaigning in the sprint to Election Day

Former President Donald Trump is finally gearing up to an all-out-sprint in his bid to reclaim the White House.
Trump, caught flat-footed when Democrats switched horses this summer, has held 26 campaign events this month — mostly rallies — which is more than the 21 he participated in during June and July combined, according to an NBC News analysis of his schedule. The ramp-up started in August, when he held 19 events.
