New York Republican says he’s happy with the president’s tax rules in the Senate version Donald Trump’s After weeks of back and forth tension, “Big and Beautiful Bill”.
Rep. Mike Lawler (RN.Y.
“I think, at the end of the day, it’s a (four) increase (state and local tax (salt) deduction). Even though the Senate has done its best to reduce the language, we can still keep it.”
Lawler is one of several Blue State Republicans who threaten to sink the bill if it doesn’t raise the price cut cap enough.

Salt buckle Designed to provide relief to people living in high-cost areas, mainly in large cities and their suburbs.
The salt deduction was not restricted before Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which sets federal tax benefits at $10,000 for single filers and married couples.
The House bill raises the cap by $40,000 for 10 years, and families are eligible for the full deduction of $500,000.
Senate Republicans released the text of the bill by midnight Friday night, lowering the benefits window to five years instead of ten years.
After that, the maximum deduction will be restored to $10,000 over the next five years.
Lawler told Fox News Numbers, who told Fox News Numbers: “Yes, time has been shortened, but at the end of the day, people will be able to deduct them to $40,000 immediately, which is a huge win.”
“The Democrats promise to solve this when full control in 21 and 22 years has not achieved that. We are achieving that. So, you know it’s a huge win for New York. It’s a big win for taxpayers all over the country.”
Blue State Republicans (mainly New York and California) work hard to raise that cap. They describe it as an existing political problem in their area where Republican victory is crucial for Republicans to win and maintain their House majority.

They also argued that their state sent more money back to the federal government, effectively subsidizing the lower tax states that did not bring in much income.
But Republicans in more Republican countries have rejected the salt deduction, a reward for high-tax democracy to continue their own policies.
Rep. Chip Roy of R-Texas wrote on X: “The deduction of salt allows the blue state to export its political errors (election high taxes, crazy socialists) that Americans should not subsidize.”
Lawler won’t say whether his support for the deal means he will vote for the final bill, noting that he has to read other provisions in the 940-page legislation.

But he said he believes most of his Republican colleagues in the Salt Caucus will support the compromise.
“I think the importance of it between most of us and how important it is to win,” Lawler said.
RN.Y. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, the only member Salt Core Club “I can stand the deal, but frankly, I’ll protect my members for a longer period of time in the 10 years of negotiations through methods and means,” said Fox News Digital on Friday.
“But, a pity, it’s a group exercise and there are a lot of chefs in the kitchen,” she said.
But not everyone is on the boat. Rep. Nick Lalota, RN.Y., sent a signal to Fox News Digital that he rejected the deal.

“While I support the president’s broader agenda, I have spent years supporting the same unfair $100k salt cap. A permanent $40K deduction limit, the single filer’s income threshold is $225K, while the joint filer’s $450k will get my vote.”
Rep. Young Kim of R-Calif did not comment on the salt agreement itself, but said more broadly that her support for the bill depends on the decisions on the salt deduction cap, Medicaid measures and small business taxes.

A source familiar with her mind told Fox News numbers that she would vote on the House bill if the Senate had more severe Medicaid cuts.
The Senate is To start thinking Although the final vote may take place in the early hours of Sunday, if not later, although the last vote may be legislation late Saturday afternoon.
The bill may also be from now on, with various Republican lawmakers still expressing concern.
