Mike Johnson won't commit to bringing House back before the election for more hurricane relief
In a letter to congressional leaders, Biden urged Congress to restore funding to the Small Business Administration’s disaster loan program as it faces potential funding shortfalls.
Johnson replied, “We’ll be back in session immediately after the election.”
Plus it's like no rush to get small business loans out anyways because the cleanup has to happen first, so coming back after session makes sense.
Kamala was touting sending 157 million to Lebanon today, no congressional approval needed. Yesterday Mayorkas said they have enough for Helene. So what is the real story?Mike Johnson won't commit to bringing House back before the election for more hurricane relief

"Johnson noted" is just another way of saying "Johnson lied".
What Biden critics "claim" in this case is not true. But here has been one President in recent history who diverted funds from disaster relief to his own pet projects and tried to deny disaster relief from certain areas of the country because they didn't vote for him. Trump did those things and it has been documented.
What did he lie about? Congressed passed the bill on 9/25 that appropriated $20B to FEMA.
And what do our own people get for the hurricane disasters? $750.
This is from FEMA:
This has been well documented to be a lie. See above.
Yeah, Kamala started it with her announcement.
which is less than one eighth of the estimated costs of Hurricanes Helene and Milton
78-18 and 341 - 82 is not barely. Do you know why these people voted against it? And Johnson said they would fund whatever is needed. Harris is just trying to make a political issue where there is none.
They lie.
For now. As a first emergency payment. There is more to come.
The rest remains to be seen. Until it does, it stands as hyperbole.For now. As a first emergency payment. There is more to come.
"The $750 payments are the initial support provided under a new FEMA program, not the sole financial assistance available. Applications can be made for multiple additional forms of financial support for those affected by the hurricane. ...
... “FEMA is also providing tens of thousands more dollars for folks to help them be able to deal with home repair, to be able to cover a deductible when and if they have insurance, and also hotel costs,” says Harris.
The $750 payments are part of the Serious Needs Assistance program, a new offering announced by FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security in January alongside several reforms intended to “cut red tape, provide funds faster and give people more flexibility.”
FEMA also disputed the claim that these funds were the only assistance being provided in a post on Helene-connected rumors.
Payments of $750 are only part of federal financial assistance after Helene | Fact check
Payments of up to $750 to survivors of Hurricane Helene are just the start of federal financial aid for the storm's victims, not the totality of it.www.usatoday.com
Do you just swallow up everything Fox News tells you without question?? You know they had to pay out a giant settlement for repeatedly intentionally lie on air, right?
No. Your claim stands as misinformation, aka a lie.
