The one piece of Trump’s legacy that haunts Biden

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Joe Biden has positioned himself as the anti-Trump. He has worked actively to dismantle former President Donald Trump’s policies and position himself as the opposite of his predecessor in just about every regard. From overturning Trump’s policies on worker’s rights to energy to the border, the Biden administration didn’t want to leave anything in place from Trump’s legacy. 

Except there is one big piece of Trump’s legislative agenda that has put Biden in a bind: the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, aka the Trump tax cuts. 

Now, on the campaign trail, Biden is trying to talk tough on taxes and Trump’s cuts. But he has had three-plus years to overturn them and has done nothing. Now, in the thick of the election season, he is willing to declare, “If I’m reelected, it’s going to stay expired.” That’s still a risky proposition given what that means for the bulk of taxpayers.
