WASHINGTON–The House Freedom Caucus on Dec. 4 called for Congress to reject a disaster relief funding request for $98.4 billion in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Helene hit the southeastern United States in late September, and Milton hit Florida’s west coast in early October, causing billions in damage.
