Hurricane Helene disaster relief can't wait until the nation's lawmakers get back to work in November, President Joe Biden said in a letter to congressional leaders Friday.

This a misrepresentation of both Biden's statement and the reporter's question. Biden said the next day that more aid would be forthcoming.

President Biden traveled today to Florida and Georgia, where he toured pockets of devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. He promised that the federal government would not abandon the communities that were damaged by one of the deadliest storms in American history.
