In the aftermath of devastating tornadoes in Arkansas, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and local lawmakers are urging former President Trump to reconsider the denial of federal disaster relief. The state’s request for aid from FEMA was rejected, leaving victims without necessary support. Despite being a close ally of Trump, Sanders expressed the dire need for federal assistance, stating that the state plans to appeal the denial. This situation has drawn attention from various congressional leaders, who are also pressing Trump to approve the disaster declaration. The ongoing appeal highlights the tension between local leaders and federal decision-making as they seek to provide relief to affected residents.
