“You are our heroes.”Trump’s speech came just one week before Senate Republicans must decide whether to pave the way for his tax plan. And if the House and Senate don’t pass matching budget resolutions, then the Senate cannot approve tax cuts with a simple majority. If Corker decides to buck GOP leaders on the Senate budget resolution vote, it could imperil the entire tax plan. Some party members on Wednesday asked how Trump could claim the tax plan would raise wages by $4,000 over eight years when specifics of how the plan would work haven’t been released. and made clear that he wants their support for his tax cuts.
