“House conservatives are already indicating that they’re prepared to block some of the key legislative promises that Senate Republicans demanded in exchange for their vote on tax reform legislation,” the Daily Beast reports.
“Those promises materialized in the frantic final hours of the tax debate last week, as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) gave Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) assurances that some of their personal legislative priorities would be dealt with in exchange for their votes.”
“Both senators ended up voting for the tax bill, giving it the 51 ‘yes’ votes it needed to pass. Within days, however, reality began setting in that those promises might have been flimsy at best.”
