Pennsylvania and Kentucky Governors Sue Trump Administration Over Federal Funding Freeze
In a significant legal challenge, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration regarding a federal funding freeze that they argue is detrimental to their states. Governor Shapiro’s lawsuit claims Pennsylvania has not received over $2 billion in federal funds due to these freezes, affecting critical state needs. Meanwhile, Governor Beshear states that Kentucky is owed over $7 million in frozen federal funds, which he insists are necessary for recovery efforts. Both governors, alongside other Democratic leaders, are contending that the funding freezes are unconstitutional and are seeking to unlock access to billions of dollars meant for various state programs and grants.
