A number of Republicans in the Blue States, some of whom are participating in reelection elections, voted against the bill. All GOP votes were from New York, New Jersey and California lawmakers who opposed the measure because they did not want to cement the $ 10,000 tax cap of the 2017 state tax deduction and local.

The bill is not expected to result in a vote in the Senate until midterm, and it is unclear whether tax cuts will actually help Republicans in elections. But Republicans in the House consider that the 2017 law is meant to stimulate the economy and to think that the consolidation of the individual tax cuts provided by the law is a way to take advantage of their achievements.

The changes made to the 2017 tax law to the individual code – including the lowest rates, the larger standard deduction and the deduction for pass-through companies – are due to expire after 2025 under current legislation. GOP legislators have temporarily reduced tax cuts to comply with the budget rules that allowed the passage of the 2017 Act by simple majority vote in the Senate.

Republicans in the House, with Trump's support, want to make permanent tax cuts both because they think it's a good policy and they think it will benefit them politically . They see it as a way of highlighting strong economic numbers and forcing Democrats to talk about extending tax provisions that benefit middle-class taxpayers.

He added that the bill would "keep the American economy booming and middle-class families grow up again."

But the Democrats, who all voted against the 2017 law, see the bill as capping individual tax cuts as legislation that will largely benefit the rich and increase debt.

"Their second round of tax cuts for the rich will further jeopardize the future of Medicare and social security," said the Democrat.

He added that the bill demonstrates that Republicans "are hardly the party of fiscal rectitude or conservatism".

Polls have indicated that Democrats' attacks on the 2017 law are echoing among voters. A Republican National Committee survey that Bloomberg reported last week revealed that most voters think the law helps businesses and the wealthy more than middle-class families.

The Joint Committee on Taxation, which set the congressional tax score, estimated that the new bill would reduce federal revenues by $ 631 billion from 2019 to 2028, before taking into account economic growth. JCT estimated that the bill would reduce revenue by $ 545 billion in the budget window after taking into account the economic effects.

YCW also estimated that the largest tax cuts would be included in the bill, but the percentage of federal taxes paid by people with incomes of at least $ 1 million would increase slightly.

The bill is one of three bills that Republicans in the House call "tax reform 2.0." Thursday, the House passed the other two bills: one focused on encouraging families to save, is designed to encourage the spirit of enterprise.

The policy on the bill to cement individual tax cuts is complicated in the Senate. It would take 60 votes to pass the Senate and there are only 51 Republicans. Some Senate Republicans said they would not support legislation because of its impact on the deficit.

In addition, if a few Senate Democrats in the United States ready to be re-elected this year voted for the bill, it would undermine attacks by Republican challengers against incumbents.
