U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, the Broward-Palm Beach county Democrat, is reportedly under consideration by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Federal Emergency Management Agency. CNN reported that Moskowitz "is a top contender" for FEMA administrator during the coming Trump administration,

The article from MSN discusses a rumor that former President Donald Trump is considering Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat from South Florida, to head the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Moskowitz, who previously served as Florida's emergency management director under Governor Ron DeSantis, has experience in disaster response, notably during Hurricane Ian. Despite his Democratic affiliation, his bipartisan work and effective management during crises have reportedly caught Trump's attention. However, the article notes that this consideration is based on speculation and conjecture, with no official confirmation from Trump or his team. The potential appointment would be seen as an unusual move given the political divide, but it underscores Moskowitz's reputation for competence in emergency management.
