The White House’s $9.4 billion rescissions package may not have the votes heading into Thursday, as at least four centrist House Republicans have expressed concerns over cementing cuts from the Department of Government Efficiency.
One of the top concerns involves slashing $1.1 billion earmarked for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which runs PBS and NPR. Many Republicans are worried about the impact on local stations in red counties that helped secure a GOP trifecta last November.
Reps. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Don Bacon (R-NE), Mark Amodei (R-NV), and David Valadao (R-CA) are among those reported to have issues with the package, which could put leadership in a bind given the razor-thin margins in the House.
