"I don't think we ought to be subsidizing state taxes," Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) told Axios repeatedly, adding Republicans need to win the House, Senate and White House first before there's a real discussion on what to do about SALT.
"I personally, at this point in time, believe we should extend the TCJA SALT provisions," said Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), the ranking Republican on the Finance Committee. "But like I said, everything's up for negotiations."
The new Trump idea does have support from Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) who said he has "always been for eliminating the cap on SALT." Schumer called the Trump tax bill "a nasty piece of legislation," which was "aimed at the blue states."
Removing the $10,000 SALT cap would cost an estimated $1.2 trillion over a decade, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Government.
