The Republican-controlled US House approved President Donald Trump's plan to eliminate $9 billion in funding aimed at foreign aid and public broadcasting. House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized the commitment to fiscal responsibility and government efficiency following the vote. This reduction is a small part of the overall projected $3 trillion increase to the national debt anticipated from Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill'. The final vote recorded was 216 in favor and 213 against, with two Republicans opposing the measure along with Democrats.
President Trump and House Republicans promised fiscal responsibility and government efficiency. Today, we're once again delivering on that promise. The spending cuts represent a fraction of the projected $3 trillion that Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is expected to add to the national debt.
The chamber voted 216 to 213 in favor of the funding cut package. Two Republicans voted against the cut, Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick from Pennsylvania and Mike Turner from Ohio, along with Democrats.
