The Hill's Whip List: Where Republicans stand on tax reform bill
By The Hill staff - 11/08/17 03:50 PM EST
Republicans are aiming to quickly pass sweeping tax reform legislation.
A bill unveiled last week by House Republicans would slash corporate taxes, reduce some individual tax rates and eliminate a number of breaks. But conservative and centrist lawmakers have raised concerns about many of the provisions.
Republicans from high-tax states like New York and California are worried about cutting back state and local tax (SALT) deductions. Conservatives have concerns about adding a new tax bracket for millionaires and on the bill's impact on the deficit.
The House Ways and Means Committee began marking up the bill on Monday and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has set a Thanksgiving deadline for a floor vote.
Assuming all Democrats vote against the GOP bill, Republican leaders can afford no more than 22 defections.
Here is a look at how the votes are stacking up.
