Disaster aid bill faces tricky path to Senate floor
A contentious 13.5 billion disaster aid bill faces a tight path to Senate approval as Puerto Rico relief, California wildfires, Alaska earthquake, and midwest floods drive bipartisan support and White House opposition. Key backers include Senators Perdue and Tillis, with Democrats led by Leahy seeking faster passage. The measure mirrors a House plan but stalled by funding disputes and a partial government shutdown.
