President Joe Biden submitted a $40.1 billion emergency spending request to Congress. In addition to $24.1 billion for Ukraine, the proposal includes $12 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) nearly depleted Disaster Relief Fund (DRF). The supplemental also includes numerous requests that should be a part of regular appropriations, and not designated emergency spending.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement urging Congress to swiftly pass critical funding for disaster relief programs while separately considering military aid for Ukraine.
Flashback … Rubio warned in June that the Biden Administration would “use disaster funding as a bargaining chip.” To protect vulnerable communities, Rubio, along with Senators Rick Scott (R-FL), Roger Wicker (R-MS), and Thom Tillis (R-NC), introduced the Disaster Relief Fund Replenishment Act to ensure FEMA has sufficient resources to continue ongoing disaster response and is prepared for unforeseen major disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires. The Democrat-controlled Senate refused to consider the bill.
Looking forward … Rubio will continue to push Congress to swiftly pass critical funding for disaster relief programs. He will also continue to demand the Biden Administration put forward a strategy for Ukraine. “The need for clarity is especially acute given the urgent need to prioritize resources to counter the Chinese Communist Party in the Indo-Pacific,” Rubio wrote in May 2022. “President Biden needs to state his objectives to the American people and explain how they will make America stronger at home and abroad.”
