President Trump has warned congressional Republicans that he will withhold endorsements from any who oppose his proposed 9 billion dollar federal spending cuts, which include defunding PBS and NPR. In a Truth Social post, Trump urged party unity and labeled public broadcasting "worse than CNN & MSNBC." While many Republicans support the cuts as a step toward smaller government, others—like Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Mike Rounds—have voiced concerns about the impact on global health programs and rural communities. The Senate faces a July 18 deadline to act on the package, placing GOP lawmakers in a political bind.
