The Senate voted 51-48 early Thursday morning in favor of President Donald Trump’s request to cancel $9 billion that was appropriated for foreign aid and public broadcasting.
Two Republicans — Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) — voted with Democrats against the rescissions bill, considered a top priority for the Trump administration. One Democrat, Sen. Tina Smith (Minnesota), was admitted to George Washington University Hospital on Wednesday after feeling unwell and did not vote.

The legislation would halt funding for the U.S. Agency for International Development, global health programs and international peacekeeping efforts, as well as public broadcasters PBS and NPR. The bill will now return to the House with a deadline for passage on Friday.
