California Republicans are resisting the idea of attaching conditions to federal disaster aid for victims of the recent wildfires in Southern California. President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson have hinted at linking disaster relief to certain demands, sparking pushback from newly elected California House members.
Republican Rep. Young Kim, representing a fire-prone district in Orange County, criticized the notion of politicizing aid for wildfire victims, emphasizing the importance of supporting those affected without any strings attached.
