President Biden emphasized the urgency of funding the Small Business Administration’s disaster relief program, warning that it risks running out of money before Congress reconvenes.
In his letter, Biden stated, 'The programs needed to help hurricane victims will fail if Congress does not act swiftly to restore funding for critical support.'
Republican Speaker Mike Johnson expressed skepticism about the immediate need for additional funding, arguing that existing resources could handle short-term needs.
Biden countered Johnson's claims, pointing out that while FEMA has immediate funds, it may have to drop long-term recovery efforts if quick funding isn't provided.
