The DOGE push to downsize government employees will hit the coalition that elected Trump,' a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, wrote.
The article from OregonLive discusses concerns among some Republicans that former President Donald Trump's potential return to office and his plans to fire federal workers could disproportionately affect red states. Trump has promised to reinstate an executive order known as "Schedule F," which would reclassify many federal employees as at-will workers, making it easier to dismiss them. Critics argue this could lead to a purge of the federal workforce, replacing career civil servants with political appointees. The worry is that this could disrupt services in states that rely heavily on federal employment, particularly in rural areas where federal jobs are significant employers. This could lead to economic instability and loss of experienced personnel in critical roles, impacting everything from agriculture to veterans' services. Some Republicans fear this could backfire politically, as it might alienate voters in these regions who depend on federal jobs for their livelihood.
