U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined CNN’s State of the Union to discuss the latest on Hurricane Ian and what comes next.
- “In times like this, people realize that this is not about politics.…
- “We’ll know what [people’s] full needs are in the long term…. There will be a lot of people who have no homes to return to now…, [and] they’ll be eligible for individual assistance.
- “We’re still in the search and rescue process…, and then, of course, begins the process of rebuilding to the extent possible, which will take years. Some of these [places,] Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, they’ll never look the same again. These communities [have] basically been wiped out.… They’ll recover, but they’ll never be the same.” — Senator Rubio
