President Trump Unveils His Secret Weapon For The GOP To Win In November
President Trump announced on Tuesday during his speech at the Susan B. Anthony List, the anti-abortion group meeting, that he will propose new tax cuts sometime prior to November when he says Republicans will retain their control of the U.S. Congress during the midterm elections, reports Reuters.
The initial tax cuts were so popular that further cuts could be an absolute game changer in the upcoming midterm elections.
Trump said he would meet with Republican Representative Kevin Brady, chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, about the proposal. He did not give any details.
“We’re going to be submitting additional tax cuts sometime prior to November,” Trump said in a speech to the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion group.
Trump signed a $1.5 trillion tax cut in December, the signature legislative achievement of his presidency. The tax cut resulted in many large companies across the U.S. giving out Christmas bonuses to their employees of up to $2,000. Many hard-working Americans credit Trump with this well needed bonus and the general boom in the economy that has been seen since Trump’s inauguration.
The economy has been a bright spot for Republicans as they face voters in November, with unemployment dropping to a near 17-1/2-year low.
All members of the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate are up for re-election.
Democrats must wrest 23 seats nationwide from Republicans to take over the 435-member House. In the Senate, Republicans control the chamber 51 to 49. This is why many Republicans, including the president, have been coming out in full force to stress how important it is that everyone gets to the voting booth in November to make sure Democrats do not take control of Congress.
