Representative Mike Lawler, a New York Republican, is firm that any tax bill lacking a fix for the SALT deduction will not receive his backing. Last week, he engaged in negotiations with President Trump, who is navigating internal Republican divisions while advocating for a comprehensive legislative agenda. SALT deductions remain a focal point in these discussions, as Lawler emphasizes their importance for both his position and Republican unity amidst budget discussions involving Medicaid and other safety net cuts.
We are in the final stages of negotiating that through the House, and then, as your report just mentioned, it goes to the Senate.
I think the President obviously is anxious to get a bill passed. But we are still working through some of the finer points.
As it currently stands, I was a no. And so we spent the better part of the day negotiating.
