Congressional pressure mounts to pass DOGE cuts, which involve $1.1 billion cuts for public broadcasting and $8.3 billion for foreign aid. President Trump's call for Republican support on the Rescissions Bill marks a political litmus test. Concerns arise among GOP senators regarding potential negative impacts on HIV/AIDS prevention and rural public radio stations. The rescission package narrowly passed the House along party lines. The administration seeks its passage without amendments, or it risks a legal requirement to spend the funds by July 18.
It is very important that all Republicans adhere to my Recissions Bill and, in particular, DEFUND THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING (PBS and NPR). Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or Endorsement.
Multiple GOP senators have expressed concerns about the rescissions, which will impact HIV/AIDS prevention programs and could affect rural public radio stations.
The package, which includes $1.1 billion in cuts for public broadcasting and $8.3 billion in foreign aid cuts, narrowly passed the House in June on a party-line vote.
A White House official, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, told BI that the administration wants senators to pass the rescission package in its current form.
