Trump’s Middle-Class Tax Cut Will Have to Wait

JONATHAN ERNST

House Ways and Means Committee Chair Kevin Brady (R-TX) said Friday that any action on President Trump’s somewhat mysterious promise of a 10 percent tax cut for middle-class households will have to wait until 2019 and will depend on the results of the midterm elections.

"We expect to advance this in the new session of Congress if Republicans maintain control of the House and Senate," Brady told CNBC.

Referring to the development as a “plot twist,” Roll Call said Brady’s comments signal that GOP lawmakers have no plans to take up Trump’s plan in the lame duck session in November and December.
