Trump Presses Reluctant GOP Senators to Embrace House Tax Bill

Trump Tries to Sway GOP Senators to Embrace Tax Bill

President Donald Trump worked the phones Monday and took to social media to try to sway Republican holdouts on his multi-trillion dollar tax bill, encountering conflicting demands from GOP senators even as he urged them to move swiftly.

The legislation, which last month passed the House by one vote, faces opposition from both moderates and ultra-conservatives in the Senate, where Trump can afford to lose no more than three votes.
