Trump Pivots to Tax Cuts to Combat Voters’ Economic Anxiety

President Donald Trump is pivoting his attention to passing the cornerstone of his legislative agenda, pressuring Congress to quickly approve a massive tax bill that Republicans believe will seal their political fortunes in the midterm elections.

Trump has spent recent days focused on foreign affairs — the Iranian conflict, the Group of 7 in Canada and his most recent trip to a NATO summit in the Netherlands. Now, he’s shifting to a domestic matter: strong-arming fractious Republican lawmakers to cut a deal on a multi-trillion dollar tax bill by an ambitious July 4 deadline.
