Trump breaks with Speaker Johnson, wants Congress to reconvene and replenish disaster relief
"Former President Donald Trump said Monday he would like Congress to come back into session early to approve extra disaster relief spending for hurricane-hammered areas of the Southeast.
“I would be in favor of it, yeah,” the 78-year-old Republican nominee told reporters after touring damage caused by Hurricane Helene near Asheville, NC.
“This is a very unusual situation, and I would be in favor of it,” the 45th president affirmed.
Donald Trump held up a cross while surveying the damage from Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.
Congress currently isn’t due back in session until Nov. 12, one week after Election Day, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has bucked pressure to gavel back in early, citing the lack of specific funding requests.
The Small Business Administration announced last week that it has depleted its disaster loan program funding, though it urged storm survivors to continue applying for aid."
