The U.S. House of Representatives is set to make 'technical corrections' to President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' on Wednesday. These changes are necessary because some provisions in the House-passed bill do not comply with special Senate budget rules, as determined by Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough during the 'Byrd Bath' process. The altered bill, which includes spending cancellations for USAID and public broadcasting, will then be sent back to the Senate for debate and a vote on Friday.
