Three Groups of Wavering Senators
November 28, 2017 at 10:22 am EST By Taegan Goddard
The Wall Street Journal identifies three blocs of Republican senators who have not yet committed to supporting their party’s tax bill.
“One group, including Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Steve Daines (R-MT), wants deeper tax cuts for so-called pass-through businesses such as partnerships and S corporations that pay taxes on individual rather than corporate tax returns…. Another group, including Bob Corker (R-TN), Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and James Lankford (R-OK), is concerned about the $1.4 trillion addition to budget deficits the bill would cause… A third group, including Susan Collins (R-ME) and John McCain (R-AZ), helped kill the Republican health-care bill earlier this year and could pose resistance over a variety of provisions, including plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act’s health-insurance mandate as part of the tax bill.”
