FEMA's days are numbered--and red states will feel the fallout

In early October 2024, Hurricane Helene devastated entire swaths of rural western North Carolina. A battleground state, then-candidate Donald Trump happily pounced on the federal response.

don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas,” he wrote on Truth Social.

At a campaign event in North Carolina on October 4, he claimed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency spent “$1 billion that they gave to migrants that came into our country. Some of them [are] murderers, some of them are drug dealers.”

The implication, of course, was that the Biden administration would rather spend money on scary brown people than on helping disaster victims recover.
