CNN Covers How Democrats Go on Offense as Trump’s Budget Bill Causes Closure of Three Rural Clinics in Virginia

New reporting from CNN discusses the closure of three rural clinics in Virginia as a direct consequence of Trump’s budget bill, noting how the bill is becoming a vulnerability for Republicans running for governor across the country as “Democrats are linking that crisis to Trump and Republicans in elections this year and next.”

CNN pointed out that “Abigail Spanberger recently campaigned in Buena Vista, a 6,600-person town that is losing its clinic,” and that “candidates for governor, potentially faced with the job of navigating the cuts, have been among the most vocal about the threats to rural health care.”

In contrast, Winsome Sears has heaped praise on Trump’s budget law, saying it “does so many great things” – but has still yet to comment on the shuttering of these clinics, despite it now having been well over two weeks since they announced their closure.
