‘Deadliest’ storms ‘since Katrina’: Georgia Republican demands emergency session of Congress

Rep. Buddy Carter from Georgia is urging congressional leaders to bring lawmakers back to Washington, D.C., as soon as possible to approve more disaster relief funds following devastating hurricanes in the Southeast. He highlighted the significant damage caused by the storms and the urgent need for assistance for affected Americans. Despite the Small Business Administration running out of funding for disaster loans, House Speaker Mike Johnson has indicated that the current FEMA funds should be enough for immediate needs. However, bipartisan calls for Congress to return early to address the funding shortfall and ensure recovery efforts can continue are growing.
