FEMA Rejects Arkansas Disaster Relief; GOP Pushes Back
Tap title to read story
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the state's Republican congressional delegation are urging President Trump to overturn FEMA's denial of federal disaster relief following severe March storms. The denial follows similar denials in Washington and North Carolina. The Arkansas request cited catastrophic damage, deaths, and injuries. This is the first instance of Republicans publicly challenging a FEMA denial, particularly noteworthy given Sanders' past White House role under Trump. FEMA has yet to comment on the denial.
