U.S. Sen. Andy Kim, the ranking member on the Senate subcommittee that oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), reacting to the Trump administration's rejection of New Jersey's $84 million disaster aid request after Winter Storm Hernando —a February blizzard that set snowfall records in seven counties — even after both regional FEMA offices and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration determined the state met the required threshold for relief. The denial was part of $227 million in rejected aid requests from four Democratic-led states, all overridden by Trump personally. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
