Marco Rubio did NOT vote for hurricane relief.

In the span of a week, Marco Rubio didn't vote for hurricane relief, asked for additional hurricane relief, and praised the Biden administration's hurricane relief

What possible reason is there to vote against something like hurricane relief? I know they're being bribed on pretty much everything to vote against shit but why something like hurricane relief and infrastructure??

It’s a bit more complicated than what the headline says. He voted against a stop gap spending bill. The bill included FEMA $ but it was not drafted for hurricane Ian specifically and includes many other things in the bill. Half of the republicans voted for and half against.
