The growing trend among Republicans to sell federal public lands, initially seen as a fringe idea, is now mainstream, driven by financial strategies to fund tax cuts proposed by President Trump. Recent amendments have made it easier to initiate land sales without proper fiscal assessment, raising concerns among advocates for public lands. Despite increasing internal party support for land sales, many Americans across political lines still cherish public lands, creating space for potential bipartisan alliances against such measures.
Selling off public lands to fund tax cuts is an emerging strategy among Republicans, despite widespread public support for preserving these lands.
Recent legislative changes have removed the requirement to assess the value of public lands before selling, making it easier to push such sales.
