Full list of Republicans who voted against FEMA funding before Helene hit
Congress approved $20 billion for FEMA's disaster relief fund as Hurricane Helene was heading toward Florida.
As Hurricane Helene careened toward Florida's Panhandle, numerous Republicans voted against extending funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Last week, Congress approved $20 billion for FEMA's disaster relief fund as part of a stopgap spending bill to fund the government through December 20. But the measure left out billions of dollars in requested supplemental disaster funding.
The Senate approved the measure by a 78-18 vote on September 25 after it passed the House in a 341-82 vote. Republicans supplied the no votes in both chambers.
Some of the Republicans who voted against the bill represent states that have been hard hit by Helene, including Florida Representative Matt Gaetz.

Good thing everything on the internet is true. You must be a real "dem" for sure. That is how us "dems" refer to ourselves all the time. Right fellow dem? Actually, I'm not a dem. I'm a straight ticket repub. I've just become disenfranchised with my party due to their policies which is what this post is actually about. For some reason you want to talk about anything but that though... Strange.
Instead of trying to convince people of something completely unverifiable, do you care to comment on the actual subject of this post or are you just here to complain about how everyone picks on the poor Republicans who are actively trying to block aid to hurricane victims so that they'll be unable to vote in swing states?
Lol dude get a life, my comments are straightforward and comprehensive. Idgaf if you don't want to read them, want to make a thousand strawmans, or make me into a REPUBLICAN PLANT that has REAL REASONS to lie about that. You very clearly project your bizarre worldview onto others. Have fun with that.
What? Lol. You're not even coherent anymore. Do you care to comment about the actual subject of this post though?
Reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong suit. Why would I waste any actual thought on some weird teenager who thinks there are uNdErCoVer rEpUbLiCaNs in this thread CREATING OUTRAGE and KEEPING OTHERS FROM ENGAGING lolol, I have a hard time even typing that out without cringing, you weirdo
Sigh. Don't be so dramatic. I'm just here to talk about the actual subject of this post. I didn't care about your voting preferences. I just think it's wrong to try and block disaster aid.
Lol "sigh" followed by "don't be dramatic", classic :) also following your bizarre accusations about my NEFARIOUS MOTIVATIONS, totally not dramatic
Kinda weird to say "I don't care about your voting preferences" after explicitly making this our back-and-forth all about my voting preferences (well, your incorrect assumption about my voting preferences)
Your voting preferences are not verifiable and therefore not important to this conversation. The only thing that we can currently verify about you is that you really really don't want to talk about Republicans blocking aid to hurricane victims. What do you think about the subject of this post?
