Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and 33 other Democrats sent a letter to the White House calling on President Donald Trump to approve full aid to Puerto Rico in the wake of several powerful earthquakes.

“With profound, widespread damage from the earthquakes in Puerto Rico, it’s past time to act. I’m leading Senate Democrats to demand that President Trump approve Puerto Rico’s request for FULL aid from the federal government,” Schumer wrote on Twitter.
