Elon Musk broke from Republicans and President Donald Trump because they were not cutting enough spending fast enough, but now the White House is hailing a rescission victory and promising more to come.

"We are very, very pleased with the passage of the Senate bill," Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought told reporters Thursday morning. "Our enthusiasm, the president's enthusiasm, is to send additional packages.

"We were watching closely about that first vote, and I think it's likely you'll see an additional package. We're not there. We're not here to announce anything on this front, but in terms of seeing whether this was a useful effort that was not a waste of time, it certainly has satisfied that threshold, and we'll see where we go from here."

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., tried to tell Musk the cuts from his Department of Government Efficiency could not be done in the One Big Beautiful Bill because of the rules of lawmaking, but Musk was not having it.

But Vought is using the rescissions process again to restore that "muscle memory," he told reporters.

"We need to get it done and get it across the finish line, but very historic moment, the return of using rescissions, getting the muscle memory for that back into the system," Vought said. "We've talked about defunding Corporation for Public Broadcasting for decades. President Trump is the first one to be able to do it. He had, you know, a lot of enthusiasm for this package and we're just thrilled that we made it through that critical juncture last night."

Democrats are objecting to the process and some frequent Senate GOP critics that often vote with Democrats are too. Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, voted against this rescissions bill this morning.

Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., voted for it, but not until after he voted against advancing it to the ultimate vote under the guise of the spending cuts not giving the senators enough information.

Democrats are likely to vote against every Trump agenda item the entire term, so the 53-47 Senate can only afford to lose three votes on every rescissions package going forward.
