Republicans are preparing to immediately step up their work on a major legislative package to extend the Trump tax cuts and — they hope — enact more party priorities in areas like energy policy.
If Republicans win the House — as they’re on a path to at the moment — they’ll have complete control of Washington and plan to use the budget reconciliation process to bypass any Democratic filibuster on tax policy.
If Democrats hang onto the House, that would set up an immensely difficult and likely prolonged tax fight with Senate Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump.
