Trump Fails to Sway GOP on Tax Bill | JQJO

President Trump's attempt to persuade House Republicans to support a tax bill failed. The bill's proposed increase to the SALT deduction cap, from $10,000 to $30,000 (later proposed at $40,000 with income restrictions), is insufficient for a group of Republicans from blue states, who represent the "SALT Caucus". Their opposition threatens to block the bill's passage before Memorial Day. Despite Trump's urging and a further increase in the proposed cap, five members remain opposed, jeopardizing the GOP's House majority in 2026.
