A Democratic National Committee vice chair plans to walk more than 100 miles in Pennsylvania to raise awareness for cuts to the state’s mass-transit services, arguing that they’re what working-class voters can expect under more Republican control.
State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta plans to start his walk on Friday from Philadelphia to the state’s Capitol in Harrisburg, hoping to nationalize a local fight in a key battleground state.
“This is coming to your state. You thought Republicans just wanted to cut waste, fraud and abuse? That’s not what they wanted to do. They wanted to cut all of it,” Kenyatta told NOTUS. “You have people who depend on the busses and trains not being able to get where they need to go with these massive, unprecedented cuts.”
