Trump Threatens Senators Over PBS, NPR Defunding | JQJO

President Trump threatened Republican senators with his political disapproval if they don't support his plan to defund public broadcasters PBS and NPR. This follows a House vote to cut $1.1 billion in funding, part of a larger $9.4 billion in cuts. Trump previously issued an executive order calling for an end to taxpayer subsidies, citing a bias against conservatives. The Senate is set to vote on the rescissions bill next week. PBS and NPR have filed lawsuits challenging the defunding efforts.
