Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) cast doubt Wednesday on passing a bipartisan tax bill, saying it could make President Biden “look good” and improve Democrats’ chances of holding the White House in the 2024 election, NBC News reports.
Said Grassley: “Passing a tax bill that makes the president look good — mailing out checks before the election — means he could be re-elected, and then we won’t extend the 2017 tax cuts.”
