Claudia Tenney calls on Republicans to pass Big Beautiful Bill Act: 'We have to unite'

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) signaled to her colleague Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) that he ought to “merge politics and policy” and support the Big Beautiful Bill Act even if his own provision fails.

Currently, the state and local tax cap allows a maximum of $10,000 to be deducted from federal taxes. At the moment, Republicans in the House have proposed a $40,000 cap for those with incomes less than $400,000 after Lawler argued for it. However, Senate Republicans have plans to cut this maximum.
