Hurricane Helene ripped through several states in the southeast and southern Appalachian regions of the U.S., devastating communities with flooding and causing the deaths of at least 166 people with many more missing.

Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance faced off on Tuesday in what’s expected to be their only debate of this election cycle for Vice President.
