President Donald Trump told rally audiences that disaster aid and veterans benefits will be tied to a Republican majority in Congress and said $1 billion in cash settlements for Camp Lejeune veterans has been delivered, with further claims to be settled only if Republicans win the House and Senate.
He made the comments while urging Georgia Senate candidate Mike Collins to call for help and warning Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff that assistance could change if Democrats win. The statements follow a pattern of Trump linking state assistance to election outcomes, a strategy noted by White House spokesman Davis Ingle and criticized by opponents such as Jon Ossoff and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper.
