Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has asked President Joe Biden to issue a Presidential Disaster Declaration for areas of the Lone Star State impacted by recent severe weather and flooding.
Texas has been rocked by inclement weather over the past few weeks, including thunderstorms that have triggered flooding and tornadoes.
In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday Abbott wrote: "Due to severe weather and flooding that continues to cause devastating damage in several of our communities, I am requesting a Presidential Disaster Declaration.
"The extensive damage caused by these severe storms, historic river flooding, and tornadoes requires comprehensive, robust action by all levels of government to help Texans rebuild and recover."

What? What's that you say? Government helps people in trouble? Is Abbott afraid of being Cancuned like Ted Cruz was for not looking after people in a crisis?
