House GOP prepares to consider Trump's $15 billion clawback

House Republicans are preparing to take action on a $15 billion rescissions package in coming weeks amid a conservative push for Congress to claw back spending as lawmakers return from recess.
The White House is considering tweaking its initial proposal — an idea spearheaded by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) after discussions with President Trump in April — as GOP leadership is still short of the votes needed to pass the measure.

"Support for the President’s rescissions request is growing by the day and Leader McCarthy continues to actively support the whip operation to send these spending cuts to the Senate," McCarthy spokesman Matt Sparks told The Hill in a statement. "The House is expected to consider it when we return from the district work period."
