Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that she is in favor of getting rid of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in its current form. “I would say, yes, get rid of FEMA the way it exists today,” Noem said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We still need the resources and the funds and the finances to go to people that have these types of disasters like Hurricane Helene and the fires in California,” she added.

While congressional Republicans have shown support for making changes to FEMA, many have outright dismissed Trump’s proposal to bulldoze the agency. Noem said that Trump would work with Congress on the agency’s reform. Trump’s “been very clear that he still believes there’s a role for the federal government to come in and help people get back up on their...
