Senate Republicans on Monday proposed a tax and budget bill that would end the $7,500 tax credit on new electric vehicles 180 days after the measure is signed into law, and it would end a $4,000 used-vehicle EV tax credit 90 days after the bill's approval.

Democratic critics predict Lawler and his allies will eventually cave and agree to whatever deal Trump and other Republican allies agree to.

The US Senate’s version of Donald Trump’s flagship tax bill will not propose raising the cap on the state and local tax deductions, in a move that threatens to torpedo the so-called “big, beautiful bill”.
