Senator McConnell Rules Out Tax Increase and Sunsetting Proposals If GOP Retake Majority

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell says proposals by Florida Republican Senator Scott to increase income taxes and sunset laws after five years will not be part of his party's agenda if they retake the majority. "We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years. That will not be part of the Republican Senate majority agenda," he says. close
