🧵 Trump is firing major parts of the workforce, there are bound to be electoral ramifications across the country. Political & economic problems may arise in congressional districts that rely the most on federal jobs, so let’s examine who they are (tag your local journalists):

Here are the highlights:

- 57 CDs whose workforce is over 4% federal employees (another 36 has between 3-3.99%)
- Partisan breakdown: 30R - 27 Dem
- 18 are in Trump-won states. 8 are in Harris-won states
