The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) within the Trump administration has initiated a review of federal funding allocated to 14 predominantly Democratic-controlled states, as well as Washington D.C.

According to documents obtained by news outlets, the OMB is seeking detailed information on the distribution of federal funds to these jurisdictions. The review appears to be part of an effort to assess and potentially reallocate resources.

The 14 states targeted for review are reportedly located in various regions across the country. The specific details regarding which states will be subject to this review have not been made public.

The White House OMB has requested that federal agencies compile data on the allocation of funds to these jurisdictions, as part of an effort to evaluate and potentially adjust federal spending priorities.

It is worth noting that the Trump administration’s actions are being closely watched by lawmakers and advocacy groups, who may be impacted by any changes to federal funding allocations.
