It looks like we’ve won the first big and consequential internal GOP policy skirmish of 2025.

Three weeks ago, Republican Senate leaders announced their intention to put the Trump tax cut extension on hold while other policy goals took top priority.

We at Unleash Prosperity – along with Larry Kudlow every night on his Fox show – howled in protest and pounded away at the negative economic impact of ANY delay. Our message was simple: Trump has a storehouse of political capital and a voter mandate on taxes. This has to be a first 100 day priority for Congress. There’s no pushing to the back burner. The tax cut expires at the end of 2025.

Go ahead and do the border security and pro-American energy policies concurrently with moving the tax bill. Walk and chew gum at the same time.

We got Trump’s ear. He’s now weighed in decisively for our approach of one big reconciliation package:

A few days ago President Trump posted an article from his pollsters John and Jim McLaughlin explaining exactly why the tax cuts need to be passed as soon as possible:

The D.C. elites (who naturally opposed Trump) are saying tax cuts can wait. That’s not what the voters say…

• Eighty-two percent % favor ending federal taxes on Social Security income. Only 11% oppose.
• Seventy-one percent favor ending federal taxes on tips for service workers. Only 21% oppose.
• Seventy percent favor making the tax cuts permanent in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, otherwise taxes will go more than $2,500 a year for the average American. Only 17% oppose.
• Sixty-six percent favor ending federal taxes on overtime pay for workers. Only 25% oppose…

Smart and proven tax cutting, pro-growth architects like Larry Kudlow, Art Laffer, Steve Forbes and Steve Moore are telling us America needs to make the Trump tax cuts permanent as soon as possible. History tells us that Trump should listen to them and not the D.C. insiders who want to continue to suck our tax dollars like a vampire sucks the blood of their victim.
