GOP lawmakers uneasy about package to codify DOGE cuts ahead of House vote this week

(CNN) Multiple Republican lawmakers are voicing concerns about backing a high-profile measure later this week to codify Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts – raising questions about whether it can pass the House at all.

Two Republicans – Reps. Mark Amodei of Nevada and Nicole Malliotakis of New York – separately told CNN they have concerns with the White House’s push to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

House GOP leaders plan to put the package of cuts, totaling $9.4 billion, on the floor as soon as Thursday, according to two people familiar with the plans.

But Speaker Mike Johnson will need near unanimity in his conference for the package to pass the House, where he can only lose three votes.
