Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has raised concerns about the Biden administration's handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, warning that the recovery costs could be substantial. Johnson criticized President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas for what he perceives as a failure in response to the disaster.
Johnson expressed disappointment in the officials' initial comments suggesting that FEMA lacked sufficient funds to address the impact of the hurricane. He highlighted the allocation of $20 billion in immediate funding for FEMA by Congress in a recent federal funding bill as a proactive measure.
