US EditionThune says Senate on track to move $9.4B in funding cuts after locking down key vote
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – The Senate bill aims to reduce $9.4 billion in federal spending, including $1.1 billion from public broadcasting and $8.3 billion from foreign aid, sparking GOP divisions ahead of a critical vote.
- With a Friday deadline looming, Senate Republicans examined changes to cancel $9.4 billion, including cuts to public broadcasting and foreign aid, with a Friday deadline to send it to the president.
- Last month the House passed the rescissions measure 214-212, and Russ Vought, White House budget chief, will visit Capitol Hill Tuesday to discuss it, as Democrats warn it could undermine future bipartisan funding deals.
- Taking up the bill triggers up to 10 hours of debate and a 'vote-a-rama', Thune said he can only lose three GOP votes, and the filibuster-proof process still demands surviving procedural hurdles.
- Several million dollars will be redirected via Interior to tribal broadcasting, Republicans exempted $400 million for AIDS prevention from the cuts, and the OMB pledged tribal radio protection to win Sen. Mike Rounds’s support.
- If passed, the package could erode Democrats' willingness to fund the government this year and next, in the DRC HIV/AIDS deaths fell from 200,000 to 14,000 annually after U.S.-funded programs intervened, and lives are literally hanging in the balance.
