US EditionCongressional Republicans Race to Pass Trump's Rescissions Request
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The Senate vote on the $9.4 billion rescissions bill aims to cut wasteful spending including public media and foreign aid, addressing the $37 trillion national debt, Senate leaders said.
- Using the rescissions process that requires only a simple majority, Senate Republicans pursued the measure before the Friday deadline.
- Most of the targeted funds originated in a bipartisan March spending bill, as the House last month passed the $9.4 billion rescissions package, which allows mechanisms to undo funds from that law.
- The Senate bill cuts $1.1 billion from public media, could silence rural stations, and rescinds $8.3 billion from USAID and other international aid.
- Protect My Public Media is mobilizing Americans to oppose the rescissions, while Sen. John Thune said PEPFAR cuts were removed and Rep. Bob Latta defended the package as needed to curb the $1.83 trillion deficit.
- Congress faces a 45-day window to approve rescissions requests, requiring 60 votes for fiscal year 2026 appropriations starting October 1.
