Dolly Parton has announced a $1 million donation to the Mountain Ways Foundation to support Hurricane Helene flood relief efforts. The country music icon, who was born in rural Appalachia, has a close connection to the region and its people. Parton's donation is expected to inspire others to assist in the massive recovery efforts. At least 225 people have been confirmed dead after Helene swept through the Southeast, and officials say they expect the death toll to rise. President Biden has estimated that the work to rebuild the damage will cost "billions of dollars."

The aim is to bypass regular House procedures and get the legislation straight to a chamber-wide vote, but this requires the support of at least two-thirds of the House chamber, making Democratic support critical. The bill will then head to the Senate for approval.
