President Donald Trump heralded the Senate’s passing of the GOP-backed tax bill Saturday as tremendous reform and said that people were going to be “very, very happy.”
Trump, who spoke to reporters as he departed the White House for New York, said the overhaul of the tax code constituted the “largest tax cuts in the history of our country.”
The contentious bill passed 51-49 along party lines in the early hours of Saturday morning, with just one Republican, Sen. Bob Corker, voting against it.
