Washington Examiner executive Editor Bob Cusack highlights that Republicans wont President Trump to focus on selling this legislation to the public, as they believe it benefits many Americans, particularly through provisions like making the tax and tip credits retroactive, which has led to noticeable refunds for some workers. Cusack notes that the legislation&#8217;s success varies depending on individual circumstances and emphasizes the importance of Trump promoting the bill more actively, as many Republicans see his involvement as crucial to its passage and voter support. The article also mentions ongoing political divisions within the GOP concerning the bill and its messaging strategies.
