Trump's Education Department Overhaul Could Impact Federal Funding for Red States More
President Trump intensifies plans to dismantle the Department of Education, raising concerns about funding inequalities across red and blue states.
Overview
As President Trump pushes forward with his plan to dismantle the Department of Education, new analysis suggests that this move may disproportionately impact states that voted for him. Research indicates that Trump's supporters in red states tend to rely more on federal education funding compared to blue states. For example, in the 2021-22 school year, federal funding constituted 17% of K-12 spending in Trump-voting states, contrasting with 11% in states that backed former VP Harris. Meanwhile, Trump's recent executive orders on school choice have drawn both praise and criticism as stakeholders watch how cuts in funding will affect educational resources, particularly in lower-income areas.
