  • Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat, is a top contender to lead the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Donald Trump's administration, two people with knowledge of the president-elect's consideration told CNN.

The article from CNN, published on December 16, 2024, discusses Representative Jared Moskowitz's criticism of the Trump administration's handling of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Moskowitz, who previously served as the director of Florida's Division of Emergency Management, highlighted several issues including the politicization of disaster relief, inadequate funding, and mismanagement during natural disasters. He pointed out that under Trump, FEMA's resources were diverted to border wall construction, which he believes compromised the agency's ability to respond effectively to emergencies. Moskowitz also mentioned specific instances where disaster aid was delayed or denied, attributing these failures to the administration's focus on other priorities and its approach to governance. His comments come in the context of ongoing debates about emergency management and preparedness in the face of increasing natural disasters.
