Noem says federal government needs to get 'out of the way' of recovery efforts

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited western North Carolina to see the progress of the recovery efforts and the damage that still remained from Hurricane Helene .

Noem says the federal government needs to get “out of the way” and cut much of the red tape involved in getting assistance.

President Donald Trump wants to “streamline” the work of FEMA , Noem told the press.

“It means a lot to us that even as we see an administration change, we’ve already had a visit from our new president here,” Manheimer said, “and that we already have leadership on the ground to be able to see what we’re working with and how our community’s coming together.” Virginia Allen is a senior news producer for The Daily Signal and host of " The Daily Signal Podcast " and " Problematic Women ."
