Trump Links California Wildfire Aid to Voter ID Laws and Releasing Water to Los Angeles
Jan 24, 2025, 04:32 PM
President Donald Trump has announced that federal disaster aid to California, including relief for wildfires affecting Los Angeles, will depend on the state meeting two conditions: implementing voter identification laws and adjusting water policies to allow increased water flow into Los Angeles and throughout the state. "I want to see two things in Los Angeles: Voter ID, so that the people have a chance to vote, and I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state," Trump stated. He indicated that once these conditions are met, "they'll get a lot of help from the U.S." and added that he would then "be the greatest president that California has ever seen." This is the first time Trump has linked federal aid to the adoption of voter ID laws and changes in water management policies, which involve releasing water from Northern California to benefit farmers and address water needs throughout the state.
