Punchbowl News: “Democrats are ramping up to counter the GOP’s tax plans and drag the markup into the night. Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richie Neal (D-MA) said in an interview that the GOP’s decision to extend the 2017 Trump tax cuts will be a political winner for Democrats.”
Said Neal: “I’ve long held the opinion that when we left the committee room library and walked into the markup, that’s when we won the election in 2018.”
