House GOP leaders eye next week for vote on spending cuts

House GOP leaders are aiming to move a widely anticipated $9.4 billion package of spending cuts through the House next week, eyeing a Rules Committee vote Monday followed by floor action, according to three Republicans granted anonymity to relay private discussions.

Some GOP appropriators are still not completely thrilled with the “rescissions” package, but there are no current plans to alter or mark up the legislation in the Appropriations Committee before it heads to the floor, the people said.

The White House plans to send the package rescinding funding for PBS, NPR and foreign aid programs to the Hill Tuesday afternoon.

Some House Freedom Caucus members want a vote this week. But Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership circle is planning for a vote next week, barring any other issues. One reason is they want to follow the 72-hour-notice rule for legislation though they are still discussing what particular day it could head to the floor.

“My objective is to move it as quickly as our rules allow us,” Johnson said in a brief interview Tuesday, nothing that discussions are ongoing.
