Zero taxpayer dollars, 470-day delays: An easy GOP victory waits in the Senate

Thanks to President Donald Trump’s leadership, working-class voters are trending Republican after generations of leaning Democratic. In 2019, Democrats were still more likely to call themselves working-class, 46% to Republicans’ 34%. That reversed by 2022, and today 67% of Republicans call themselves working-class, climbing to 82% among Republicans in blue-collar jobs.

The GOP has adjusted its agenda accordingly. Just look at no tax on tips worth up to $25,000 a year, no tax on overtime worth up to $12,500, a new $6,000 deduction for seniors, a permanent $2,000 child tax credit, and up to $10,000 in deductible interest on a new, American-made vehicle. This is all real money getting put back in working people’s pockets.
