About this episode
As the Senate prepares to vote on the revised version of President Trump’s "Big Beautiful Bill," tension has once again risen over its contents, particularly over language pertaining to the SALT deduction cap. While the House bill raised the cap to $40,000, the Senate’s version lowers it back to $10,000. With the issue of SALT being a sticking point for key blue-state Republicans, the Senate’s tweak may put the bill’s final passage in jeopardy. Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to discuss the debate over SALT, as well as how members of Congress are reacting to last weekend’s assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman. Then, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) explains why raising the SALT cap is so vital to his constituency. Plus, he weighs in on the Israel-Iran conflict and Tuesday's New York City mayoral primary.
