Later in the day, Rep. Gomez addressed President Trump regarding natural disasters, emphasizing that such events transcend political affiliations. He criticized Trump's stance on FEMA assistance for Florida and Louisiana during these crises, questioning how leaving them without aid would be beneficial.

In his final post of the day, Rep. Gomez criticized Republicans and former President Trump for policies he believes would increase child poverty by cutting taxes for the ultra-wealthy at the expense of millions of children and families."Republicans and Trump would increase child poverty - hurting millions of children and families - just to cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy and billionaires."
