Republicans are celebrating a big policy win on tax reform. They hope to use the momentum they've picked up to replicate their victory in the new year, but can President Trump squeak out another win as the GOP advantage in the Senate shrinks?
Peter Van Voorhis, Reporter at Red Alert Politics, believes they can and they will. Voorhis says that, as Americans begin to get their paychecks in the next few months and see the money they are saving, they will rally behind Republicans and the GOP's policy agenda.
Now that tax reform is law, the big question on everyone's mind is what policy change will President Trump push for next. Could it be immigration or even a return to health care? Voorhis lays out the pros and cons of each option.
President Joe Biden has met with new House Speaker Mike Johnson at the White House. Johnson was joined by Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries as they discussed Biden's request for nearly $106 billion for Israel, Ukraine and other national security needs.
The new leader of one of the chambers of Congress that will certify the winner of next year's presidential election helped spearhead the attempt to overturn the last one, raising alarms that Republicans could try to subvert the will of the voters if they remain in power despite safeguards enacted after the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
