DNC Vice Chair to Protest Cuts By Walking 105 Miles Across Pennsylvania

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.”

He acknowledged that the brunt of the reconciliation bill Republicans in Congress recently passed won’t be felt by voters until after the midterms. That’s why he’s taking this state issue, which sprang from a funding fight in the Pennsylvania General Assembly, to the national stage, he said.
