Trump Pushes GOP to Go on Offense

June 11, 2025 · 6:30 am ET · Leave a Comment

Punchbowl News: “Top administration officials are aggressively making the case to GOP senators that the massive Republican reconciliation bill is a political winner — and that they should be going on offense to sell it. It comes as Democrats hammer vulnerable Republicans over Medicaid cuts and other controversial provisions in the reconciliation package.”

“During a lunch meeting at the NRSC on Tuesday, Trump’s political team, led by White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair, presented polling data to Senate Republicans showing that key elements of the bill are popular with the public.”

“The polling data centered on individual tax provisions that are major Trump priorities, including no taxes on tips and overtime pay, according to GOP senators and a White House official. Senate Republicans have indicated they want to impose limits on the latter due, in part, to the cost.”
