Some in Hurricane Helene-ravaged North Carolina embrace Trump's push to abolish FEMA

North Carolina lawmakers are debating a plan to spend $500 million in Hurricane Helene recovery, which is less than half of the $1.07 billion proposed by Governor Josh Stein.
The storm caused about $60 billion in recovery needs, affecting more than 25% of the state with extensive damage to homes and infrastructure.
Residents, frustrated with FEMA's process, are considering support for the suggestion to abolish the agency, citing delays and confusion over assistance.
Experts warn that eliminating FEMA could hinder disaster recovery efforts, as its role in providing assistance is critical in emergencies.
