Washington, DC (RI) — Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson of Marion is expecting votes in the US House in early spring on the policies President-elect Trump is pressing congress to pass as quickly as possible.
Trump has described what he calls “one big, beautiful bill” that would be the largest piece of legislation in US history. It would include proposals on immigration and taxes as well as government spending and regulations. Republican senators, who met with Trump recently, have suggested passing two bills on a wide variety of initiatives.
The bill Trump envisions would extend the tax cuts he signed into law in 2019 and fulfill his 2024 campaign promise to eliminate the federal tax on tips. Trump also wants the package to include energy and defense topics as well as immigration and border security measures.
Hinson says House Republicans have discussed what policy items could go into the bill and many House Republicans met privately to continue the conversation.
