The Senate passed a $9 billion rescissions package backed by the White House—targeting the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which partially funds National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)—in a 51-48 vote in the early morning hours of Thursday.
Despite opposition from two Republicans—Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski—most GOP senators supported the bill, which now heads to the House for a final vote by Friday. The measure was approved in a 51-48 vote at 2:30 a.m. after voting for more than 12 hours on amendments.
The bill asks lawmakers to claw back $7.9 billion in funding from foreign-aid programs via USAID, as well as rescind $1.1 billion from left-leaning public broadcasters NPR and PBS, defunding them for the next two fiscal years.
