GOP braces for first ‘test run’ on codifying DOGE cuts
- The White House sent a $9.4 billion rescissions package to Congress on June 10, 2025, aiming to formalize DOGE spending cuts by clawing back prior funding.
- The package follows a lengthy delay, is smaller than the promised $1 trillion in DOGE cuts, and faces major obstacles in the House and Senate.
- Several Republican lawmakers, including Don Bacon and Senator Susan Collins, expressed concerns about global health program cuts like PEPFAR and the lack of package specificity.
- Speaker Mike Johnson said on Monday he is working to answer questions, expects the first rescissions package to succeed, and plans multiple such packages.
- If enacted, the rescissions could slow federal funding for priority programs, requiring near unanimity in the House where Republicans can lose only three votes.
