It’s an election year and this hurricane hit an important swing state, so be prepared for an unusually high level of nonsense around this. No matter what the administration does, the right wing media will loudly say it wasn’t enough and that “ALL YOUR MONEY IS GOING TO UKRAINE” instead.

And yet the republicans in NC will keep promoting Trump and claiming Biden isn’t doing anything to help, when in reality it’s republicans voting NO on important bills to grant aid.
>This week, state officials learned that of the more than $900 million requested, North Carolina will receive just $6.1 million, less than 1% of the resources needed to help communities and families fix homes, repair businesses and recover from the historic flooding. In today’s letter, Governor Cooper reiterated the critical and immediate need for support and urged the President to visit affected communities to better understand the challenges that remain.
>“Families across Eastern North Carolina need help to rebuild and recover, and it is an incredible failure by the Trump Administration and Congressional leaders to turn their backs,” said Cooper. “Matthew was a historic storm and we are still working every day to help families return home and rebuild their communities. North Carolinians affected by this storm cannot be ignored by the Trump Administration and Congressional leadership, and I will continue to work with our Congressional delegation to get North Carolina residents affected by the storm the help they deserve.”
>The Trump Administration’s Housing and Urban Development agency (HUD) is responsible for determining unmet recovery needs, which is a $600 million request for North Carolina, but the agency allowed for only $6 million. Remaining Congressional requests for crop damage, business repair and public buildings were ignored.
