Former acting FEMA chief Trump fired now on track to head agency

The Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has approved the nomination of Cameron Hamilton, former acting FEMA chief dismissed by Trump, to lead the agency. With an 8-4 vote, Hamilton is now set to head FEMA, though it remains uncertain if the full Senate will confirm him before the August recess. This move could signify a shift in disaster management policies, especially given Hamilton's previous role in the Trump administration, where he faced criticism. His confirmation could influence FEMA's response strategies and agency operations moving forward.
