Rep. April McClain Delaney told Newsweek how cuts to programs like Medicaid, as well as NPR and PBS, will affect rural Americans.

Representative April McClain Delaney warned that Donald Trump’s cuts to programs like Medicaid, as well as NPR and PBS, are going to hit rural America like a “tsunami” in an interview with Newsweek.

Delaney’s Maryland congressional district contains some of the areas that could be hit hardest by Trump’s policies. It spans from the state’s rural western panhandle, which she says could bear the brunt of new rescission cuts, to the Washington, D.C., suburbs, home to federal workers who have lost their jobs amid the mass firings of federal workers.

“When you look at all of these funding freezes on our government employees on our national parks, but also Medicaid, SNAP, and then start looking at some of the other rescissions that it’s just a tsunami that’s about to hit rural America,” Delaney said.
