Whip Emmer on California wildfire relief:
“Well, right now, we don't know what's going to be needed. We know it's significant. What we do know is that Congress, in December, before we left the 118th Congress, passed the American Relief Act, which provided billions of dollars to FEMA to not only deal with the… hurricanes, Milton and Helene, but also, for situations such as this.”
Whip Emmer on the Trump agenda:
“We are going to get the Trump agenda put in place. Donald Trump got a mandate on November 5th. The public expects us to deal with the excessive spending, the debt, the deficit that [drove] double digit inflation… They've asked Donald Trump to seal the southern border, and they want… peace and stability around the globe… That's what Congress will be working with Donald Trump to get done.”
Whip Emmer on working with a slim House majority:
“...I love people who tell us that we can't do something. I mean, when we didn't have the White House and we didn't have the Senate, we did things that Republican majorities had never been able to do in the previous 10 to 15 years. I mean, it was the strongest border security bill in 20 years. It was an all of the above energy policy with all the reforms to permitting that we haven't seen for 30 years. The list goes on and on. It was raising a debt ceiling. We were told we couldn't do any of those things. And you know what? We did do those things. Now we have a partner in the Senate with John Thune… and we have the White House to get the things done that Donald J. Trump said he was going to do that the American public elected him to do."
