GOP Leader Breaks Silence On Texas Floods
As catastrophic flash floods leave a trail of heartbreak and destruction across Central Texas, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is assuring the nation that help is on the way—once official funding requests are submitted.
During a Sunday interview on Fox News Sunday, Johnson addressed the growing tragedy that has already claimed nearly 70 lives and forced mass evacuations. “This is a moment of national sorrow,” he said, “and we stand united in support of the families affected.”

Federal and state emergency resources have already flooded into the region. But as Johnson noted, there is only so much Congress can do until formal requests for supplemental disaster funding are received.
“At a time like this, we feel just as helpless as the families watching their homes wash away,” he said. “But our prayers are constant, and our commitment to act is unwavering.”
Speaker Johnson shared that this disaster has hit close to home for many members of Congress. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) represents one of the hardest-hit districts. Rep. August Pfluger (R-Texas) had daughters attending a summer camp in the flood zone, and Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.)’s granddaughters were at the same Christian camp when the floods hit.

“This isn’t just political—it’s deeply personal,” Johnson said. “It touches our families, our friends, our faith communities. Right now, what we need most is prayer—and we need it from every corner of this country.”
He reiterated that President Donald Trump has been fully engaged in the response, ensuring that every available federal resource is being deployed.
“President Trump is dialed in, minute by minute,” Johnson explained. “And once we receive those official funding requests, Congress will move swiftly to provide additional support. Our mission is clear: to save lives, rebuild communities, and restore hope.”

As search teams continue to recover victims from the devastating floods—especially in Kerr County—Americans are reminded once again of the importance of strong leadership, community faith, and national unity in times of crisis.
