Live updates: Trump goes to Capitol Hill to put pressure for his scanning tax and his expense bill
The republicans of the chamber have pointed out their fingers today while the collage points leave both the moderates and the Rideliners refusing to say if they will finally vote for the political bill of President Donald Trump, even after the president came to Capitol Hill to rally support and exhort unit at the conference.
Here is what some Republicans say:
Rep. Don Bacon: “We must defend ourselves against this, because they are, in a sense, to put poisoned pills which will not pass. This is what the president says. So I hope they take into account the president, I hope they listen to him,” said the republican of the swing district to bring Medicaid.
Rep. Ralph Norman: A hardliner who sits on the Chamber’s rules committee would not say if he will vote to advance the bill, calling for his support “a moving target” and explaining that he wants to see modifications of a ceiling for tax deductions (salt) of state and local (salt) paid if they are included.
Rep. Andy Ogles CNN said: “I would say that if the vote was taking place right now, he dies a painful death.”
Rep. Keith Self: When asked if he was still a “no” on the bill, the hardliner said: “We have not yet made the corrections.”
Rep. Troy Nehls: Trump’s ally warned that the opposition to the bill could return to the members of the Hantal GOP. “Here is an opportunity under a unified government, which means control, republican control, to obtain tax reductions, to obtain so many big things, and if there are one or two problems with which you do not agree, well I will disembark the bill.
Rep. Thomas Massie: The Kentucky Republican, whom Trump threatened with a primary earlier in the day on his challenge to the bill, said that he was not afraid that his voters listen to Trump and that he had a “cordial” interaction with the president. When asked if Trump’s threat would force him to queue to support the bill, Massie laughed and said: “No.”
Rep. Mike Lawler: THE The New York Republican accused the president of the Chamber Mike Johnson and another head of the key republican committee to try a last -minute maneuver to force legislators supporting a higher ceiling on state and local tax deductions to support the bill. “I’m not going to sacrifice my voters and throw them under the bus in a bad faith negotiation,” said Lawler.
