A Crucial Test of Spending Cuts Awaits Senate
Senate Republicans are gearing up for a critical week as they consider President Donald Trump’s request to reclaim a staggering $9.4 billion—in spending cuts that would affect federal media and foreign aid initiatives. This request aims to test the waters on the public’s support for these Department of Government Efficiency cuts, with the deadline looming as Congress must act before Friday to avoid the funds being set in stone. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are working hard to derail the measure and need to rally some Republicans who are uncertain about aligning with Trump’s agenda.
