Despite the budget office rescinding the memo, the White House clarified that the underlying executive orders regarding federal spending, especially in areas like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and climate change, remain in place.

This was the result of legal challenges, including a temporary block by a federal judge, following an emergency hearing requested by nonprofit groups.

The rescission of the memo was a move to end any confusion caused by the court's injunction, because the administration aims to implement these policies in a less contentious manner.
