Senate Republicans will tweak President Donald Trump’s $9.4 billion rescission request — the White House’s attempt to give a figleaf of legitimacy to the Department of Government Efficiency’s rampage through the federal government — in order to get key Senate GOP holdouts onboard.

Congress has until Friday to pass the rescissions package or it expires. The Republican-led House passed it last month, 214-212. In the Senate, where the GOP holds a narrow 53-47 majority, party leaders can afford to lose no more than three Republican “no” votes, if all Democrats are opposed. Vice President JD Vance would break any ties.

Congressional Republicans are launching into their next big legislative fight – this time over DOGE spending cuts for foreign aid and public broadcasting – that risks the wrath of President Donald Trump if they fail.
