White House’s DOGE Cuts Package Faces Uncertain Path in Senate as Clock Ticks | News Channel 3-12

NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – The package aims to reduce federal spending by $9.4 billion, cutting $8.3 billion from USAID and over $1 billion from public broadcasting, amid warnings of potential government funding conflicts.

  • The Senate faces a July 18 deadline to pass a rescissions package that would cut $9.4 billion in federal spending and send it to the president for approval.
  • This package, initially sent by the White House to Congress in early June, targets foreign aid and public broadcasting, but faces opposition and likely amendments in the Senate.
  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune expects the bill to be voted out of committee and reach the floor next week, where a vote-a-rama will allow further changes.
  • Republican Senators, including Susan Collins and Markwayne Mullin, express uncertainty or expect amendments, while Chuck Schumer warned that codifying these cuts risks a government shutdown.
  • If the Senate modifies the bill, the House must reapprove it before the deadline, and failure to pass the package would embarrass Republicans and impede the administration's deficit-reduction efforts.
