A new POLITICO analysis found that the Biden administration has yet to distribute the majority of its allocated $33.6 billion to make the nation more resilient against hurricanes, droughts, wildfires and other disasters. POLITICO’s Zack Colman and Jessie Blaeser break down why progress has been slow, how the White House is defending itself, and what happens to the funding once the presidential election concludes. Plus, Elon Musk's electric car company is endorsing a climate policy that his political ally Donald Trump has promised to dismantle if reelected.
