President Biden has proposed a $100 billion emergency relief package for the victims of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, following devastation that resulted in over 250 fatalities. The funding would bolster existing emergency funds, support farmers affected by the storms, and aid in infrastructure repairs. Biden’s request comes as he faces a transition of power to President-elect Donald Trump in two months, with congressional dynamics shifting towards a Republican majority. The proposal is currently under review by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
