"The day Republicans have been anxiously awaiting is here as they plan move their $1.5 trillion legislation to a vote first in the House, followed by a Senate vote.
The Senate, in which the party has a much narrower majority — just 52-48 — than the House, scored two significant wins on Monday when Senators Mike Lee of Utah and Susan Collins of Maine said they would back the bill. With Bob Corker of Tennessee also on board, the tax overhaul appears headed to passage, even without the vote of Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican who has returned home to receive medical treatment.
If all goes as planned and no Republicans defect, the bill should arrive on President Trump’s desk before the Christmas deadline the party has outlined."
