House GOP fiscal hawks warn Trump tax cuts in danger of expiring under new Senate-backed plan
Fox News
Congressional Republicans are divided over how to proceed with massive conservative policy overhauls next year.
It is a process normally used once per year, but incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., floated a plan earlier this month to split Republicans' reconciliation priorities into two bills – one dealing with the border and defense and a second aimed at implementing President-elect Donald Trump's tax policy. The plan was also backed by top Trump adviser Stephen Miller. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives.

However, Republicans on the House Ways & Means Committee, including Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., are concerned it could put their goals – such as preserving Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – out of reach. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
