Senate advances blueprint for Trump tax cuts, other top priorities

Senate Republicans advanced a budget blueprint that includes a permanent extension of the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts, with a vote of 52 to 48.
GOP lawmakers warn that failing to extend the tax cuts would result in a $4 trillion tax increase on Americans by 2026.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso stated that failure to pass the budget resolution could lead to a significant tax hike on American families, estimated at around $1,700 per household earning $80,000.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune asserted that Republicans should unify to avoid temporary tax relief and ensure American families do not face tax hikes every few years.
