Richard Rubin: 共和党为了争取阿拉斯加州参议员Lisa Murkowski的最后一票,对税收和支出法案进行了一些重大修改,包括推迟对阿拉斯加和其他一些州营养援助计划的变更生效日期,取消了参议院提议的消费税,并增加了一个农村医疗保健基金。尽管如此,共和党的目标,包括减税、新的税收优惠、削减医疗补助支出、增加边境执法和国防资金,都已实现。Murkowski支持税收削减和空中交通管制资金,但对投票感到矛盾。现在,法案已送回众议院,众议院领导人表示将立即审议该法案,并在7月4日前将其送交总统。然而,众议院共和党内部存在多个不满的派别,他们最多只能失去三名议员,一些财政保守派议员认为,参议院的法案不符合他们设定的税收削减和支出削减之间差距不超过2.5万亿美元的限制。众议院的情况可能会很复杂,但议长Mike Johnson有能力找到多数支持。约翰逊曾敦促参议院不要进行太多修改,但参议院还是做出了修改,众议院议员面临艰难选择,7月4日的截止日期并非强制性的,存在政治上的紧迫感。
