Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
The president-elect and Newsom have engaged in a public back-and-forth regarding the handling of the wildfires, which are expected to be the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history. The fighting between the pair comes as Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill debate whether to attach disaster aid for the wildfires to a debt limit increase.
Meanwhile, Sen. Steve Daines joined Trump in criticizing the California governor, suggesting that Newsom and other state leaders must be held “accountable for getting us in this position.” “We should be focused on how we can help victims of natural disasters, and when Mother Nature hits, she doesn’t care about party affiliation or where people live,” he claimed. “We’re all Americans at the end of the day, and our focus should be on helping.”
“One bill, two bills — doesn’t matter to me,” the president-elect said of the divide while visiting Washington last week. “They’re going to work that out. But the end result is going to be the same.”
