In 2024, Republican Donald Trump won the largest share of the vote ever for a Republican presidential nominee in the county, garnering 79.4% of the vote.

While it sucks for the 20% who voted against this, odds are damn high that anyone featured in a story is probably in the 80% that voted exactly for this.

The sad thing about this is that probably for most of these folks this will only further confirm their views. Trump and his allies were pushing the idea that FEMA is corrupt and ineffective while Biden was still in office. The Trump admin will argue that this is FEMA's fault, not Trump's. His voters will eat it up.
