The White House said Congress should provide more than $14 billion to address natural disasters that occurred before Ida, and that at least another $10 billion would be needed for damage caused by Ida.
The White House on Tuesday said it was asking Congress for at least $24 billion in disaster aid, as President Joe Biden toured more states hard hit by Hurricane Ida.
“With the end of the fiscal year rapidly approaching, it’s clear that Congress will need to pass a short-term continuing resolution to provide more time for the FY 2022 process to unfold,” the White House budget office’s acting director, Shalanda Young, said in a blog post.
