Budd on Workforce Pell and Foreign Policy | Winston–Salem News

Senator Ted Budd’s latest tweets spotlight his push for workforce training in North Carolina and a fiery exchange with activist Mamdani over foreign policy. Budd touts his Workforce Pell initiative, already adopted by 29 community colleges, while calling Mamdani’s call to arrest Netanyahu a hollow “virtue signal” to radicals. He defends his American Allies Protection Act, which would withhold federal funds from cities that antagonize U.S. allies. Budd also insists Mamdani lacks legal authority for such a move and warns against politicizing Israel’s leadership in communities with large Jewish populations. Rooted in his background as a homeschooling advocate, scout leader, and farm-raised conservative, Budd blends education reform with staunch national values — all while staying firmly grounded in his North Carolina roots.
