U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) has called for Congress to reconvene to pass a supplemental aid package. This package aims to fund recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene and provide missile defense assistance to Israel following a significant attack by Iran.
"It is imperative that Congress reconvene to pass a supplemental aid package for the damage done to the Southeast by Hurricane Helene and also to provide missile defense assistance to Israel, which is under attack from the Iranian regime," said Graham.
Graham emphasized the importance of supporting both domestic disaster relief and international allies. "We need to help our people at home and stand with our allies abroad. I want the people affected by this terrible storm to see speedy federal relief, and I want Iran to see great resolve when it comes to Congress’ willingness to assist Israel," he stated.
The senator is actively seeking bipartisan support for the proposed aid package. "I am reaching out to Republican and Democratic colleagues to put a package together as soon as possible," Graham added.
