(CNN) House Republicans this week will unveil their long-awaited plan to overhaul the country's tax code, a bill that the House hopes to pass out of its chamber in just a matter of weeks. Fights over the SALT deduction nearly cost GOP leaders on a key procedural vote to fast-track the tax plan on Thursday. Meanwhile, over the weekend, the tax bill encountered an early setback. While both senators say they plan to judge the tax bill independently of their Trump feud, the senators have voiced deep concerns about the state of the country's debt and deficit and have vowed to draw a red line on any tax bill that isn't fiscally sound. After Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican, voted against the health care bill in July , there is some concern that there are enough emboldened Republican senators to kill Trump's tax bill if they so choose.
