“I would like to say that it is a big mistake to add some conditions to the support of the nation that has been caused by natural disasters.

Bonta added that the President was responsible for both the Democratic and the state near the Republican Party to receive equal treatment.
“The president ran for not only the red state of the United States, but also to be the President of the United States.

This was a very appropriate and correct action. So this tradition. I hope it will continue in the future. ”
