CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia's Democratic U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin says the Trump administration's proposed federal budget would hurt poorer residents of his state with deep cuts in food stamps, Social Security disability benefits, Medicaid and children's health insurance.

He says it also would effectively eliminate the Appalachian Regional Commission, funded at $120 million in 2016, that provides development and planning grants for depressed counties.

He says the budget proposal from Republican President Trump's budget director shows a "lack of compassion" for the most vulnerable Americans in every state.

Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito says she's pleased the proposal would continue drug policy funding but has "serious concerns' about proposed cuts on West Virginians and will use her role on the Appropriations Committee to ensure programs important to West Virginians are funded adequately.
