Trump Approves Disaster Relief--But Just for States That Voted for Him The New Republic

Trump Approves Disaster Relief—But Just for States That Voted for Him | The New Republic

https://newrepublic.com/post/202231/donald-trump-disaster-aid-states-voted-for-him

Whether or not a state receives federal disaster aid under the Trump administration appears to boil down to their vote in the 2024 presidential election.

Donald Trump unlocked Federal Emergency Management Agency aid for several states this week, including Alaska, Nebraska, and North Dakota, but he denied it to others seemingly along party lines.


In multiple posts to Truth Social over the course of the week announcing the aid, Trump boasted that he had “won BIG” in Alaska and was honored to extend federal financial assistance to the “incredible Patriots” of Missouri.

Meanwhile, three states that recently voted blue received nothing: Vermont, Illinois, and Maryland.
