Democratic states are leading a push back against planned Trump administration cuts to anti-terror funding.
The White House wants to divert large chunks of a $1 billion terrorism prevention program, launched in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, to states won by the GOP in last year’s election, Reuters reports.
Federal records obtained by Reuters suggest Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Ohio, which all voted Republican in 2024, would enjoy the largest increase in funding. Meanwhile, California, New Jersey, Illinois, and Washington, D.C. would suffer cuts of 31 percent, 49 percent, 69 percent, and 70 percent, respectively.
