Recently, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin suddenly told 140,000 federal workers in the state that there will be plenty of jobs even if the Trump administration changes in the November presidential election, and attention is focused on the background of his remarks.
On the 5th, Virginia public radio station WVFT reported this under the title, “Youngkin says there will be plenty of jobs in Virginia even if Trump lays off federal workers.”
According to this, after a recent meeting of the Governor’s Revenue Estimation Advisory Committee (GACRE), Governor Youngkin said, “Even if Trump carries out his promise to immediately lay off a large number of federal workers if elected president, Virginia’s 140,000 federal workers have nothing to fear,” and “There is a tremendous opportunity to find new jobs in Virginia.”
After Governor Youngkin’s remarks were made public, the Washington Post published an article on the 8th titled, “Trump’s plan to lay off federal workers could shake up the economy of the Washington area,” and before that, MSMBC published an article titled, “Governor Youngkin ignores Trump’s plan to lay off a large number of federal workers.”
Meanwhile, the Heritage Foundation, a think tank, recently announced ‘Project 2025’, which contains key national tasks to be implemented within the first 100 days of former President Trump’s re-election. One of the key contents of this project is to remove existing civil servants through a large-scale civil service reshuffle and replace them with Trump loyalists.
It is said that there has been considerable unrest in the civil service community since the project was made known.
