From Fox News: The House of Representatives’ tax-writing panel took a key step in advancing President Donald Trump’s tax agenda on Wednesday morning, finishing a marathon session that began with lawmakers entering a cavernous and chilly room in the Longworth House Office building just after 2 p.m. on Tuesday.
The House Ways & Means Committee advanced its portion of Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill,” one of 11 committees working on the effort that will then be part of one massive piece of legislation.
It happened despite a barrage of protest amendments lobbed by Democratic lawmakers in a bid to slow proceedings down and make Republicans take politically tricky votes.
The Energy & Commerce Committee and the Ways & Means Committee both held meetings through the night to debate and advance key parts of Trump’s bill.
The former’s meeting is expected to go into Wednesday afternoon after beginning Tuesday at 2 p.m. The Ways & Means Committee advanced its portion early on Wednesday morning in a party-line 26 to 19 vote.
Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) wrote Wednesday, “Good morning! @WaysandMeansGOP Republicans voted to bring tax relief to middle class Americans. Meanwhile, Democrats spent 18 hours trying to block tax cuts for overtime and tipped workers, seniors, and families hoping to buy a new car.”
