Senate Republicans have until Friday to pass a $9.4 billion rescissions package requested by President Donald Trump last month. Otherwise, they will be forced to start the process all over again, virtually ending Congress’s chance of making permanent the spending cuts the Department of Government Efficiency put in place earlier this year. 

“We have other rescission packages that we will send if we have a good vote,” White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought told the Washington Examiner. “Next week may be a huge pivot point in how this town does business and will be an exciting milestone to be able to make actual permanent reductions to some of these savings that we’ve identified as an administration.”
