Joe Biden wants more FEMA funding after Florida, Maui disasters | USA TODAY

President Joe Biden visited FEMA headquarters to thank them for their efforts as well as request funding from Congress.

Hurricane Idalia and other recent natural disasters have drained the federal government's relief funds faster than expected, the Biden administration said Friday in a request to Congress for more emergency money.

Three weeks after asking lawmakers to approve an additional $12 billion, the White House budget office said it now needs $16 billion.
