" Biden is seeking $40 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster relief fund, the nation's primary short-term recovery vehicle; $24 billion to assist farmers who lost crops and livestock in recent hurricanes and top-off antipoverty food aid programs; and $12 billion for housing assistance."
"The request, submitted in a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana), builds on Biden's previous funding requests, which the GOP-controlled House has declined to consider."
" The White House's request incorporates funds they've already asked for to cover Maui which was devastated by fires in 2023 and Baltimore, where the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in March. Biden pledged that the federal government would cover the full cost to rebuild the bridge. The administration on Monday requested $8 billion for the Transportation Department, building off a $3.1 billion estimate from June."

Hmmm, maybe skipping Trump supporters in disaster-stricken areas wasn't such a great idea.
And TBF, it's only $98.4 billion.
