Congressional aides say no need to return to session this month

Capitol Hill aides in both parties told Punchbowl News on Monday that President Joe Biden’s hint that he might call Congress back in to session to pass a supplemental to fund recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene since last week’s CR authorized Biden to spend $20 billion in FEMA funds for disaster relief and that FEMA has money marked for non-urgent projects that can be diverted.

The typically GOP-friendly newsletter detects a bit more apprehension on one side though. “But should Congress have to return to session to deal with the Helene fallout, it would be a mess. Republicans are all over the place when it comes to disaster relief. There are a number of GOP lawmakers who have voted against storm aid. When Sandy hit New York and New Jersey back in 2012, 67 Republicans voted no on a disaster aid package. Many of them are still in Congress,” they write, before mentioning the obvious fact that it would take members off the campaign trail.

Sort of sounds like Punchbowl are trying to communicate some sort of mutually assured destruction being visited upon Democrats too, even though it’s obvious Republicans are going to suffer more from having to go back to work and do the right thing by the American people for however many days it takes. The Tuesday morning edition also takes a dim view of how convicted felon former President Trump’s been handling the storm’s aftermath, writing, “Where Trump is flailing: Former President Donald Trump visited Georgia Monday and claimed Kemp couldn’t get Biden on the phone to help secure much-needed aid for the state,” before listing off all the blatant lies the fat fuck spewed as well including his cowardly escape from an NBC reporter – all in contrast to positive reporting on how Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have conducted the response so far.
