Hurricanes Milton and Helene Wreak Havoc, Aid Politicized by Biden Administration

The Gulf Coast is grappling with the catastrophic aftermath of Hurricanes Milton and Helene, which devastated Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama in a double blow of high winds, record storm surges, and flooding. Hurricane Milton, a Category 4 storm, caused over $7 billion in damages, while Helene added another $3 billion in destruction. Tens of thousands remain displaced, with many lacking power and clean water as recovery efforts face logistical challenges.

Adding to the chaos, Biden’s FEMA has come under fire for allegedly politicizing disaster relief efforts. Critics claim that aid distribution has been selectively prioritized based on political calculations, leaving conservative-leaning areas struggling to access essential resources. Reports of delayed funds, burdensome red tape, and preferential treatment for Democrat-controlled regions have fueled outrage.
