The Senate approved Trump's budget-recession bill, cutting approximately $535 million in funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This budget cut is part of a broader Republican strategy to eliminate federal funding for public broadcasting, a goal articulated by Mitt Romney during his 2012 presidential campaign. Romney had argued against spending taxpayer money on public broadcasting, suggesting that the private sector could take over its funding. Although he lost the election, Trump's recent actions align with this long-held Republican objective to dismantle support for public media outlets like PBS and NPR.
