Republican leaders in the Senate are encountering strong opposition to their new tax plan just hours after its introduction, reflecting concerns about Trump’s tendency to flip his script on major policies, raising concerns about meeting their July Fourth deadline for passing the comprehensive legislation.
According to Politico, the pushback emerged following a private briefing by Senate Finance Chair Mike Crapo to his fellow Republicans on Monday night. The meeting was meant to explain the committee’s approach and address concerns about key elements of the bill, including changes to Medicaid and clean-energy tax credits.
