Republicans moved one step closer to clawing back billions in foreign aid on Tuesday after Vice President JD Vance cast his latest tiebreaking vote to bring the package of DOGE-inspired cuts to the Senate floor.
In a 51-50 vote, the Senate discharged the funding clawback, known as a rescissions request, out of the Appropriations Committee despite the reservations of centrists who fear the cuts will undermine American influence and global public health. Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky were the three Republican “no” votes, requiring Vance to revisit the chamber he once served in.
This was Vance’s sixth tiebreaker in the Senate, following his deciding vote on July 1 to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
