In light of the recent hurricanes, FEMA has come under intense scrutiny, especially from some in the GOP.

Concerns center around staffing shortages and funding levels. Biden has said Congress should come back to Washington to approve additional resources for FEMA.

“I think that Congress should be coming back and moving on emergency needs immediately,” Biden said during a speech Thursday. “It’s going to take several billion dollars.”

Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had this answer when asked by reporters why Congress had to come back to approve more money for hurricane relief when they did not need to do so for Biden to authorize sending money to Lebanon.

“The whole premise of your question is misinformation, sir,” Jean-Pierre said.

“Which part? Is there money to send to Lebanon?” the reporter pressed.

“I just mentioned to you that we provided more than $200 million to folks who are impacted in the area,” Jean-Pierre responded.

“You can’t call a question that you don’t like misinformation,” said the reporter.

Trump has taken to the campaign trail saying more money is needed because FEMA spends millions on housing for illegal migrants.

FEMA does have a program to help illegal migrants; however, this program has its own budget separate from disaster relief. The agency says no funds have been transferred from one to the other.

There are also allegations of slow-walking aid to Republican areas, something the White House strongly denies.

“Regardless of the color of a county or the color of a state, we are to be there for survivors in their greatest time of need, and we are executing on that direction,” said Caitlin Durkovich, the Biden administration’s senior director for resilience and recovery.

Meanwhile, the Harris campaign shared the names of 99 Republicans who voted against FEMA funding during the budget negotiations two weeks ago.

The list includes Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and Georgia’s Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, two states with expensive rebuilding ahead.
