From ABC News.
Senate Republicans are expected to move forward on Wednesday with efforts to codify some of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts to programs such as the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and public broadcasting.
Their process to advance the package, submitted by the White House, began on Tuesday night when Republicans narrowly advanced the $9 billion rescissions package with the assist of the tie-breaking vote of Vice President J.D. Vance.
Three Republicans crossed the aisle on Tuesday night to cast votes against the bill after raising concerns about the lack of detail in the White House’s rescission plan: Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitch McConnell. It’s likely that Murkowski, Collins and McConnell will maintain their positions against the package.
