Senate Democrats are divided over how to respond to President Trump’s efforts to cut the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Some seek bipartisan support from Republicans who value foreign assistance, while others push for obstruction, arguing that bipartisan efforts are futile.

Trump’s plan to integrate USAID into the State Department, led by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has caused concern about government overreach.

The changes have disrupted USAID’s operations, including halting aid distribution and firing key staff.

Democrats are using limited power, like delaying votes and pushing court actions, to resist these efforts, while some Republicans warn of the broader impact on U.S. security and aid, The Hill has reported.

Despite temporary injunctions against funding cuts, the situation remains uncertain.
