Fox News: Blue state Republicans threaten revolt against Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' if Senate changes key tax rule
House Republicans from blue states are expressing concern over potential changes to the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap in President Trump's tax bill. They argue that the Senate's current proposal, which maintains the cap at $10,000, disregards the needs of constituents in high-tax areas.
These lawmakers, particularly from New York and California, insist that a previously negotiated increase to a $40,000 cap is essential for their support. They warn that failure to uphold this agreement could jeopardize the bill's passage and the GOP's majority in the House.
