US Senate Republicans eye two-step Trump legislative agenda

^{Published on 2024-12-03 22:00:49 - Brian Stokes, N@N}

U.S. Senate Republicans are discussing a two-step plan to push ahead on President-elect Donald Trump's agenda when they take the majority next year, starting with border security and energy before turning to tax cuts.

The article from MSN discusses how U.S. Senate Republicans are focusing on a legislative agenda that aligns with former President Donald Trump's priorities, particularly in the areas of immigration and tax policy. They are considering a two-step approach: first, addressing border security and immigration reform, which includes measures to restrict asylum claims and enhance border enforcement, reflecting Trump's hardline stance on immigration. The second step involves revisiting and potentially extending or making permanent the tax cuts from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which are set to expire in 2025. This legislative push is seen as an attempt to solidify Republican voter support and to set the stage for the upcoming election cycle, where these issues are expected to play a significant role. However, these initiatives face challenges in a divided Congress, with Democrats likely to oppose many of these measures, especially those concerning immigration.
