Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday said he would support a federal relief bill to assist his state in recovering from Hurricane Ian only if it does not contain unrelated spending projects, which are commonly known as “pork.”
“Sure, I’ll fight against it having pork in it,” Rubio told CNN “State of the Union” co-anchor Dana Bash when asked if he would vote against a bill that included extra spending that was not related to hurricane damages.
“That’s the key,” Rubio continued. “We shouldn’t have that in there because it undermines the ability to come back and do this in the future.”
Rubio’s state last week faced massive damages from Hurricane Ian, a Category 4 storm that made landfall near Fort Myers on Wednesday afternoon. The storm has killed at least 47 Floridians.
President Biden approved Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) emergency and major disaster declarations for Florida as the storm progressed, freeing up federal resources to bolster the state’s response.
But Rubio and DeSantis have faced criticism from some after the two voted against a federal relief bill following Hurricane Sandy, which hit places like New York and New Jersey in 2012 and killed more than 100 Americans.
Some Republicans who voted against the measure said at the time the spending should be offset with other spending cuts.
Rubio on Sunday said he has voted for hurricane relief without pay-fors before….
