The White House is debating whether to send its rescission request this week or hold off for a couple of weeks, allowing Congress to make further progress on reconciliation, sources familiar with the matter told NOTUS on Tuesday.
The administration was expected to send Congress its rescission request on Monday, but now the process has been slowed down and could be delayed for weeks. House Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole and two sources said the White House is debating whether to send the package while Congress is in the middle of dealing with reconciliation.
“I actually think there’s some debate in the White House about that,” Cole said. “Do you want to do it now? Does it get in the way of reconciliation? I don’t know that they’ve resolved that.”
