Republicans in the House and Senate have until Friday to pass the recissions measure that targets foreign assistance and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

It was reported by Semafor in late May that the 65-year-old coach was considering a run for Alabama’s open seat in the U.S. Senate. The opening was left by Tommy Tuberville, a former Auburn football coach, who recently entered the Alabama governor race.

GOP senators said they would remove $400 million in cuts to PEPFAR from the rescissions proposal, which targets foreign aid and public broadcasting, ahead of a Friday deadline.

Sen. Thom Tillis stood on the Senate floor and warned White House aides to tread carefully as they cut foreign aid and to remember the promises they made to get a rescission bill approved by senators.

Senate Republicans are expected to move forward on Wednesday with efforts to codify some of the DOGE cuts to programs such as the U.S. Agency for International Development and public broadcasting.

The U.S. Senate on Wednesday moved toward approval of President Donald Trump's plan for billions of dollars in cuts to funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting, which would hand Trump another victory as he exerts control over Congress.

A bill to cancel about $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting spending is nearing passage in the Senate.

The Senate cleared two procedural hurdles Tuesday/TK day to move closer to a final vote on the GOP effort to codify Department of Government Efficiency spending cuts as a deadline to act on the White House priority looms.

The lawyers wrote that Emil Bove III, the face of some controversial moves by President Trump’s Justice Department, had disgraced the department.

Senate Republicans narrowly advance Trump's funding cuts targeting $8.3 billion from USAID and $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
