FIRST ON FOX: A House Republican from southeast Georgia is urging 
congressional leaders to call lawmakers back to Washington, D.C., as soon 
as possible to approve additional disaster relief funds.

Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., wrote to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., 
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and other leaders on Friday, 
weeks after two hurricanes battered parts of the Southeastern United 
States.

"The rain, wind, and flood damages from Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and 
Milton have killed over 200 Americans, and caused hundreds of billions of 
dollars of damages, including to our critical infrastructure such as the 
electrical grid, major roadways, bridges, and more," Carter wrote.

"Together, these storms have been the deadliest and most destructive 
storms to hit the mainland United States since Hurricane Katrina."
