From Politico: Trump’s talking about shutting down FEMA. Republicans hate that idea.

“GOP lawmakers resisted the president’s suggestion FEMA might need to “go away,” but they support changes to the disaster response agency.

Deeply red states are experiencing some of the costliest disasters, and lawmakers from those states fear that eliminating Federal Emergency Management Agency would leave them on the hook for increasingly expensive bills. So while they’re open to overhauling FEMA, congressional Republicans said they flatly reject the idea of abolishing the agency.”
