Trump's tax and spending legislation to be handled by Vance for sales negotiations
In a bid to sell President Donald Trump's latest legislation, Vice President JD Vance has been traveling the country to pitch tax cuts for working families to American voters. The legislation, dubbed by President Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," is a massive tax cut for the middle class and jobs.
The role of Vance, a political strategist and author, is to promote the president's agenda, but Matt Terrill, another political strategist, cautions that one person can only do so much in promoting a law. The success of the legislation, according to Terrill, ultimately comes down to how the policies impact Americans.
Vice President Vance has been using his ability to effectively champion President Trump's policy positions on programs like Sunday shows, podcasts, and other platforms. He has visited multiple states, including Wisconsin and Georgia, to promote the legislation, which he has named the "Working Families Tax Cut."
The legislation also includes provisions such as no taxes on overtime and no taxes on tips. However, one of the biggest criticisms of the legislation is its impact on Medicaid. Estimates project a $1 trillion reduction in federal spending and an increase of nearly 12 million uninsured people by 2034.
Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt states that an issue Republicans had with messaging the bill was the ability to discuss the tax cuts in the legislation. Schmitt also points out that while Trump is the bill's messenger, Vance is the individual selling the bill. Vance's background allows him to connect with everyday Americans, as Schmitt states.
The title of the legislation, "One Big Beautiful Bill," does not adequately explain its contents, according to President Trump. The changes to Medicaid in the legislation are argued by some Republicans to strengthen the program for the most vulnerable.
The legislation is expected to be a key topic in the upcoming midterm elections, with Vance focusing on key states like Pennsylvania and Ohio, where blue collar workers are looking for tax relief. A recent Pew Research Center poll found that 46% of adults disapprove of the legislation, while 32% approve, and 23% are unsure. Despite the divided opinions, Vance continues to promote the legislation, hoping to sway more Americans to support it.
