‘We Look Forward to Holding Them Accountable’: Karoline Leavitt Threatens GOP Holdouts on Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’

 

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just sent a clear — even unmistakable — message to those Republicans in Congress who might consider not voting in favor of President Donald Trump’s forthcoming “big, beautiful bill.”

At Friday’s press briefing, Leavitt was asked about a group of blue state Republicans who are threatening not to support the legislation — which is set to include tax cuts — unless it includes an increase in the State and Local Deduction (SALT) cap.

Leavitt responded with a not-so-subtle threat:

Well look, this is an ongoing discussion on the Hill. There’s a lot of disagreement on Capitol Hill right now about the SALT tax proposal, and we will let them work it out. As for the tax provisions in the reconciliation bill, the priorities of this president, he has made them incredibly clear. No tax on tips for our hardworking service workers. No tax on Social Security for our well-deserving seniors who have worked their whole lives to pay into this system. No tax on overtimes-, overtime for hardworking Americans as well. And there’s a plethora of other priorities the president wants to see in this bill.

Anyone who opposes this bill will be opposing the largest tax cut in American history. They will be voting to raise taxes by the tune of $4 trillion on the middle class of this country, and we look forward to holding them accountable for that. Everyone on Capitol Hill on both sides of the aisle should be supportive of the president’s tax priorities.
