What changed
Senator Paul's Amendment No. 5378 to S.Con.Res. 33 was rejected 25-73 in the Senate on April 23, 2026, with 2 not voting. The amendment sought to offset $70 billion in new spending by cutting foreign aid by $45 billion, eliminating $5 billion in refugee spending, reducing Department of Education funding by $16 billion, and cutting NSF funding by $4 billion. The amendment failed to achieve a simple majority threshold required for adoption. As a rejected amendment to a budget concurrent resolution, no changes to federal spending authority result from this vote — S.Con.Res. 33 proceeds without these proposed offsets.
For federal contractors, educational institutions, and organizations receiving foreign aid or NSF grants, this vote outcome preserves current funding levels. While this particular amendment did not advance, budget reconciliation proceedings may include alternative spending proposals. Entities dependent on these funding streams should continue monitoring S.Con.Res. 33 and related appropriations legislation for any provisions that do advance.
