FEMA nominee pressed on whether Trump favors disaster funding requests from GOP states

Cameron Hamilton, Trump's nominee to lead FEMA, testified before a Senate committee that he would ensure disaster recovery efforts are 'objective' and 'fair,' amid criticism from Democrats who cited a Politico report showing 23% of disaster funding requests from Democratic states were approved versus 89% for Republican-controlled states. Trump has advocated for shifting FEMA responsibilities to states, calling for reduced federal involvement.
