Massachusetts did well with a Democrat in the White House. The party may be over under Trump. - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Currently, billions of dollars flow to Massachusetts from Washington every year for programs ranging from Medicaid to food stamps.
51% : Few expect government run by Trump to award federal money for climate change adaptations at the scale that Biden has, for example.
51% : Perhaps the only guarantee: Expect changes when Trump takes office.
36% : While it's too early to predict with certainty, some in Massachusetts fear the state won't see funding on that scale again -- particularly with Elon Musk, whom Trump has appointed to lead a new advisory panel, aiming to slash $2 trillion in federal spending.
32% : A spokesperson said the city is reviewing the status of each federal grant and "can't predict exactly how federal funding may change" under Trump.
