Trump approves $32 million in flood relief for North Carolina

President Donald Trump on Thursday approved $32 million in flood relief for North Carolina, which suffered significant flooding earlier this year and has struggled to recover from a devastating hurricane last fall.

"I am proud to approve nearly $32 Million Dollars in assistance for the Great State of North Carolina, which I WON BIG all six times, including Primaries, in response to their recent flooding events in July," Trump posted on Truth Social. "Senator Tedd Budd, future Senator Michael Whatley, and all of our incredible North Carolina Republicans have asked for this, and I am happy to do it — North Carolinians deserve it."

"I just notified Governor Stein, and I fully expect he will make sure the funds are used to help the State recover quickly. The last Democrat Governor, Roy Cooper, who now wants to be Senator, did a terrible job with all of the Storms and massive Water Damage to the State," he added. "We came in on January 20th, and did a great job of bringing North Carolina BACK. Michael Whatley and Ted Budd were of great help. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

The state has been in the news in recent days over the stabbing of Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte metro. Trump has consistently weighed in on North Carolina politics, notably increasing his interest after former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley announced his senatorial campaign.
