Trump lashed out at Democrats for fighting his administration’s attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census
President Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at Democrats for fighting his administration’s attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, a controversial move set to undergo legal scrutiny by the Supreme Court in the coming months.
The president’s comment comes one year ahead of the next Census milestone, April 1, 2020, the date by which the Census Bureau plans to send a letter or door knocker to every U.S. household. The massive data collection is undertaken every ten years and has major implications, including alterations to the apportioning of congressional seats, the drawing of political districts, and allocations of local and federal funding.
Critics of the question claim it has political motives and aims to underrepresent Democratic-leaning communities in Congress.Sign Up
