She stated that the exact consequences remain uncertain, but the anticipated loss of funding would leave the state unable to compensate adequately. Highlighting the negative effects on crucial social services, Gillibrand criticized Congressional Republicans for their support of Trump's proposals, stressing that their priorities should be aligned with the needs of their constituents rather than loyalty to an individual.
