GOP zeros in on shorter timeline to avert SALT meltdown

The House and the White House are negotiating an offer to keep the House-passed $40,000 SALT cap increase but peg it to a shorter 5-year timeline in President Trump's "big, beautiful bill," Axios has learned.Why it matters: That could move one of the bill's thorniest issues closer to being resolved. But House SALT holdouts and senators — who have almost no incentive to be generous on SALT — still need to agree.Zoom in: At least one House holdout, Rep. Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.) told Axios he's a "no" on that offer. "I need 40k for my constituents, and it has to be 40k forever," he told Axios.But Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) told CNN he's optimistic after the SALT crew's meetings with Treasury officials. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) told reporters she's inclined to support the deal, even if she doesn't love it. Between the lines The House-White Hose proposal would keep the House's language raising the cap to $40,000 for five years, but then revert to the current $10,000 cap after that, two sources familiar tell Axios.That could reduce the deficit hit from raising the SALT cap by as much as $145 billion, one told Axios.The House SALT caucus, with its handful of blue-state representatives, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla), Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and other White House officials have been involved in the negotiations. Bessent is expected to discuss the plan with Senate Republicans during a closed-door lunch Friday, sources said.Editor's note: This is a breaking news article and has been updated.
