Republican-controlled House advanced Trump’s sweeping tax bill in step that sets the stage for possible passage later today
Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries has spoken in “strong opposition of Donald Trump’s one big ugly bill”. Jeffries argued that the bill, that he described as an “abomination”, would gut Medicaid and “rip food from the mouth of children, seniors and veterans”. Instead, he said, it would “reward billionaires with massive tax breaks”.
Jeffries continued:
Every single Democrat stands in strong opposition to this bill because we are standing up for the American people.
That is outrageous, that is disgusting. That is not what we should be doing here in the United States House of Representatives.
