Overview

  • The National Republican Congressional Committee rolled out nationwide digital ads branding the law as the “Working Family Tax Cuts” and spotlighting no taxes on tips and Social Security savings.
  • Vice President JD Vance will speak in Pennsylvania this week to emphasize the law’s benefits for working-class families and funding for enhanced border enforcement.
  • House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Ro Khanna have launched counter-programming tours highlighting the law’s substantial cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
  • An Economist/YouGov survey conducted in mid-July finds just 35% of adults support the law compared with 53% who oppose it, underscoring public skepticism.
  • A Tax Policy Center analysis concludes that the new tax provisions are regressive, with households earning over $460,000 receiving the largest after-tax gains.
