GOP Rejects ‘Millionaire Tax’ Pitch

“House Republicans rejected a push by some allies of President Donald Trump to include tax hikes on the rich in sweeping legislation they passed last week — a decision that could carry repercussions into next year’s elections,” the Washington Post reports.

“The Senate could make further changes, but Republicans in the upper chamber are expected to prove even less likely to back higher taxes on the top income bracket.”

“The issue may help define the upcoming battle over the GOP’s key legislative achievement ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.”
