First on Fox: Republican senators urged to 'go on offense' on DOGE goals, highlight work with Trump, Musk
Fox News
The Senate Republican campaign committee is calling on GOP senators to showcase the mission of President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk to use DOGE to "eliminate wasteful spending" by the federal government.
The memo points to recent national surveys, including the latest Fox News poll, that indicate majority support by Americans to tackle federal waste and fraud and downsize the government.
But those same surveys also point to the public's dissatisfaction with how DOGE is carrying out its mission, including major cuts to the federal government workforce. And the polls indicate that Americans hold an unfavorable view of Musk, the world's richest person and the chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX, whom Trump picked to steer DOGE.
