Biden and Trump put out vastly different statements about the spate of wildfires ravaging Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.
Newsom said it was a "ridiculous lie" that he cut $100 million, a retort he included on his new website, California Fire Facts. But the website didn’t dissect the $100 million; it focused on the big picture of the budget during his tenure, asserting that the budget had grown for California’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Cal Fire.
Just over $100 million was cut from California's wildfire and forest resilience fund in the latest budget, though total spending has grown sharply since 2014.
Biden announced that the federal government will be covering 100% of the costs of the fires for 180 days. This includes costs of debris and hazard removal, first responder salaries, temporary shelters and “all necessary measures to protect life and property.
