Trump pressures GOP senators to defund NPR and PBS amid opposition
The $9.4 billion rescissions package—already passed by the House—proposes cutting $1.1 billion allocated to public media. The move has ignited fierce debate among lawmakers, even within the Republican Party.
“I’ll be for it because it cuts spending,” said Sen. Rand Paul., R-Ky. “But I’m not completely against having various points of view and having public television be one of those.”
Conservatives have long accused NPR and PBS of ideological bias. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who voted for the measure, called them “radical left-wing echo chambers.”
Trump has made his position clear. In May, he signed an executive order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to halt taxpayer support for the outlets, accusing them of promoting “partisanship and left-wing propaganda.” On Truth Social last week, he warned, “Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or Endorsement.” He added that PBS and NPR are “worse than CNN & MSDNC put together.”
