Democrats torched GOP lawmakers Monday for what they referred to as a scarcity of progress on restoring the favored tax deduction for State and Native Taxes (SALT) at a gathering with President-elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend,

Workforce Blue says suburban reasonable Republicans confirmed how little leverage they’ve with Trump once they left the sit-down with out a street map for both absolutely restoring the deduction or dramatically elevating the $10,000 cap the GOP imposed as a part of the 2017 Trump tax cuts.

“Unfair double taxation is hurting hard-working Long Islanders’ pockets,” Rep. Laura Gillen, a Nassau County Democrat, posted on X. “House Republicans must push for a full restoration of the SALT deduction. If they won’t, I’m happy to take their spot.”

Huge Apple Republicans together with Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of Staten Island, Lengthy Island’s Rep. Nick LaLota and Westchester County Rep. Mike Lawler shot the breeze with Trump and received a thumbs up from the MAGA chief after a chummy assembly in balmy Palm Seashore.

Even earlier than it began, Minority Chief Rep. Hakeem Jeffries discounted the assembly as an empty speak store that may by no means result in actual outcomes.

“These people aren’t serious,” he posted to X.

The GOP lawmakers sought to place a optimistic spin on the assembly, claiming they’re making progress in the direction of successful Trump’s help for the deduction, which is a large situation for rich voters in dear suburbs in New York, New Jersey and California.

“(Trump) is committed to helping Long Islanders, who suffer from the nation’s highest state & local taxes,” LaLota tweeted.

“We will get it done,” Lawler chimed in.

Malltiokis conceded that it’s unlikely fellow Republicans will conform to scrap the cap altogether. She admitted that Trump instructed them to hash out particulars on a potential improve with fellow Republians.

“He wants us to work on what would be a fair number.” the Staten Island lawmaker instructed Politico.

Trump and congressional Republicans are nonetheless looking for to provide you with a broad plan for passing key parts of Trump’s agenda given the GOP’s tiny majority within the Home and the actual fact they should use a legislative slight of hand referred to as reconciliation to get it previous a possible Democratic filibuster within the Senate.

Extending the Trump tax cuts, which considerably minimize charges for the rich and large enterprise, is a key precedence for nearly all Republicans.

However among the blue state GOP lawmakers say they received’t again any tax plan that doesn’t eradicate or broaden the SALT deduction cap.

In the meantime, some Republican fiscal hawks bitterly oppose scrapping the SALT cap as a result of it might improve the funds deficit. Others have stated they received’t vote to eradicate the debt ceiling, an unrelated high aim for Trump, who desires a free hand to push for extra spending as he sees match.

With solely a 219-215 Republican majority within the Home, that indicators massive bother for SALT and doubtlessly your entire Trump plan. The slim edge is anticipated to get even slimmer when two Republican members of congress be a part of Trump’s cupboard.
