LUDOVIC MARIN via Getty Images President Donald Trump is getting pushback from his own party on a plan shut down several rural job-training centers. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and other Republican lawmakers are breaking with the White House on its plan to make cuts to a conservation job training program and lay off more than 1,000 federal workers. McConnell sent a letter of his own the same day, noting the plan could cost 100 Kentuckians their jobs. It’s not hard to see why President Donald Trump is running into trouble with his own party on this one. The training centers are all in rural areas, mostly in the South and West, and the centers slated to close tend to be in purple or red states: Montana, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Virginia, Washington, Kentucky, North Carolina and Oregon.
