Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, addressed concerns regarding a group of blue state Republicans contemplating not to endorse President Trump's tax legislation due to the SALT deduction cap issues. She emphasized that the discussion on Capitol Hill is ongoing, firmly reiterating the presidentâs priorities. Notably, Leavitt highlighted that rejecting this bill would be equated with opposing the largest tax cut in American history and could effectively burden middle-class Americans with $4 trillion in tax increases. She urged bipartisan support for the bill's tax proposals.
Well look, this is an ongoing discussion on the Hill. There's a lot of disagreement on Capitol Hill right now about the SALT tax proposal, and we will let them work it out.
No tax on tips for our hardworking service workers. No tax on Social Security for our well-deserving seniors who have worked their whole lives to pay into this system.
Anyone who opposes this bill will be opposing the largest tax cut in American history. They will be voting to raise taxes by the tune of $4 trillion on the middle class.
We look forward to holding them accountable for that. Everyone on Capitol Hill on both sides of the aisle should be supportive of the president's tax priorities.
