Mike Johnson Hasn’t Decided on Bipartisan Tax Bill

“Speaker Mike Johnson hasn’t made up his mind about whether to support the bipartisan tax package approved by a key committee last week,” Punchbowl News reports.

“The reason? Grumbling from some of his members about the deal.”

“One frustrated group is vulnerable, blue state Republicans who’ve repeatedly tried to make a stand on a key campaign issue back home — raising the $10,000 cap on deducting state and local taxes. Some of these lawmakers are worked up about the bill lacking so-called SALT relief, we’re told, particularly given how politically potent it is in their swing districts.”
