Treasury Department Secretary Scott Bessent said the Senate is on track to vote Friday on the GOP megabill to enact President Trump’s agenda, and that the president would be fully involved in helping gather support for the bill in the final days.
Bessent spoke to reporters after meeting with GOP senators in the Capitol as Republican leaders race to reach consensus on key provisions.
He predicted that Senate and House Republicans would reach a deal on raising the cap on state and local tax deductions, a major sticking point, in the next 24 to 48 hours.
“I just had a very successful lunch meeting with the senators, I think that we are, hopefully, on track for a vote this Friday,” he said.
Bessent predicted the legislation would also pass the House quickly and make it to Trump’s desk by the July 4 deadline the president set for the bill.
