President Trump plans to approve disaster aid for Wisconsin

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he plans to approve millions of dollars in emergency aid to help Wisconsinites recover from severe storms in July. The president’s comments come over a month after Gov. Tony Evers formally requested a disaster declaration. Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday that the approval of the aid comes after a conversation he had with Congressman Tom Tiffany, the Republican candidate for Wisconsin governor. Trump said he told Tiffany he will approve $17.9 million for the severe storms and tornadoes Wisconsin experienced. Evers responded on X that Wisconsites will believe it when they see it and that President Trump and Congressman Tiffany are playing politics with emergency aid.
