Another Tax Cut? Trump and Republicans Offer a Midterm Pitch, if Not a Plan
“In Nevada on Saturday, Mr. Trump said he and Republican lawmakers had been working on ‘a very major tax cut’ for middle-income people that would be rolled out in the coming weeks. There is no chance of such a plan passing even the House before the midterms, let alone the Senate, because Congress is in recess through the election. So the move appears to be an effort to give Republican voters a jolt of enthusiasm as the polls are opening — and perhaps an acknowledgment of how small a boost Mr. Trump’s signature tax bill seems to be giving Republicans in the battle to control Congress.”
