Greene had
shared
on X that “Yes they can control the weather,” although she did not specify who “they” were, later suggesting that the hurricane’s destruction could negatively impact Donald Trump’s chances in upcoming elections.

The congresswoman also shared a map overlaying hurricane-affected regions with electoral data.
"This is a map of hurricane affected areas with an overlay of electoral map by political party shows how hurricane devastation could affect the election," Greene
wrote
, implying a potential political motive behind the storm's trajectory.

Clinton discussed the hurricane's impact on both Democratic and Republican areas, noting the widespread devastation in western North Carolina.
He recalled the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew in 2016, which he said affected Hillary Clinton's supporters in coastal North Carolina.

While dismissing Greene’s claims, Clinton did acknowledge that extreme weather events could impact elections by suppressing voter turnout.

"I didn't see how Hillary could possibly win," Clinton said.
"I knew their lives were wrecked and they couldn't get themselves together to go vote and there wouldn't be an organization to do it."

Mocking Greene’s insinuation, Clinton speculated that if he had the power to alter the weather, he would have pursued a different career path altogether.
“If I’d had the power to change the weather, I’d have been in a different line of work,” Clinton quipped.
