Senator Marshall on Newsmax: President Trump’s Compassionate, Hands-on Work with Hurricane Helene Victims

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. joined Newsmax to discuss President Trump's visit to North Carolina to meet with victims of Hurricane Helene. Due to the Biden Administration's botched response by FEMA, victims of the hurricane are still struggling to rebuild three months later and have received little assistance from the federal government.

Senator Marshall discussed President Trump as a compassionate leader and emphasized the difference between his and President Biden's response to the hurricane. He additionally shared his support for President Trump's proposition to disband FEMA to cut away red tape for disaster relief.

Highlights from Senator Marshall's interview include:

On President Trump visiting victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina:

"What a big contrast between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Here you have a President that's hands-on, and, like you said, you're seeing the compassionate side of Donald Trump, and not only his compassionate side, but he's going to hold people accountable."

"Has it been three months, I think, since that hurricane? And still people there without proper housing and water as well. So this is the Donald Trump that I know - you're not going to see it on the legacy media, but he's one of the most compassionate people I have ever met in my life."

On President Trump potentially disbanding FEMA following its failure to help victims of Hurricane Helene:

"Certainly this is what a businessman would do - when you have a situation, a business that's just upside down, it's not going to work, and all the king's men will not be able to put this back together. So oftentimes we would just start over."

"I do think we could take all that money and somehow just pour it into the local levels… certainly the federal government has failed us. Let's start over. I'm ready to consider anything at this time."
