“President Donald Trump’s allies in the Senate are warning their GOP colleagues that failing to pass the White House’s $9 billion-plus rescissions package would embarrass the president and show Republicans aren’t serious about reducing federal spending,” Punchbowl News reports.
Said Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA): “If the Republicans in the United States Senate do not pass the rescissions package after all the rhetoric about reducing spending, then they should hide their head in a bag. And I think the White House will provide the bag.”
Semafor: Rescissions bill becomes next Republican headache.
