Vought, then vote. Senators may vote on the House-passed, Donald Trump-supported rescissions bill as early as this afternoon. But not until they share their concerns about it with OMB Director Russ Vought, set to appear at the Senate GOP’s closed-door lunch today. NOTUS’ Ursula Perano reports some Republican senators are still looking for answers on what is in this bill.

Those senators met Monday night and did not leave sounding satisfied. “There are programs to prevent malaria, polio, tuberculosis, the GAVI programs. There’s maternal and child health programs, there are nutrition programs. We still are lacking the level of detail that is needed to make the right decisions,” Sen. Susan Collins said, exiting the meeting.
