The majority of the Senate, John Thune, said that the tax portion of the salt of the bill will have to be modified by the Senate, but the Republicans of Salt House said that any change would not vote on the final adoption.
Jake Sherman from Punchbowl News published on X:
Johnson said he spoke with the Salt Caucus on the house floor earlier. The speaker said he was planning to speak to the Senate management to tell them that it is a “very delicate thing”. Thune says that the salt agreement of the house must be modified.
Laura Weiss of Punchbowl said that the House Republicans who negotiated the Credit Credit Agreement said that if the agreement was modified, they would vote against the bill:
The Republicans of Salt Caucus are in arms on Thune's comments that the salt agreement will likely change in the Senate. (Rep.) Lalota says that changing the ceiling of $ 40,000 “would be like digging up radioactive waste buried in complete – reckless, destabilizing and sure to contaminate all around” “
(Rep.) Lawler says that it is a no if the salt is changed
Remember that the Chamber adopted the bill by a single vote, 215-214, so if a republican changes his vote from a yes to a no, the bill will die.
The representative of Lawler means that the whole bill could flow.
The reason why the Republicans may be willing to pour the entire bill is that they know that they have until the end of the year to extend Trump's tax cuts.
An increasing number of Republicans of the Chamber and the Senate want to abandon the major bill and try to pass the elements of the bill as an autonomous legislation.
The Big Beautiful Bill is a giant and ugly mess that is close to collapsing under the weight of its own dysfunction. There was always the possibility that if the Senate modified the bill, the Chamber would not pass it and that these changes become more and more likely to become reality.
