House Votes to Reclaim $9.4B and Cut NPR, PBS Spending

  • The House of Representatives voted 214-212 on Thursday to rescind $9.4 billion previously appropriated for USAID, NPR, and PBS and sent the package to the Senate.
  • The cuts, proposed by the Trump administration, align with its executive order to eliminate non-mandated federal programs and follow a Department of Government Efficiency review.
  • The rescission would fully defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's $1.07 billion budget, slash nearly two-thirds of USAID's Development Assistance, and cut several other foreign aid and peacekeeping funds.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson stated the goal is to ensure efficient federal spending, while NPR CEO Katherine Maher warned Americans reliant on local stations would suffer immediate consequences.
  • If the Senate passes the proposal, it could substantially reduce public broadcasting and foreign aid programs, with White House officials signaling more cuts may follow.
