The House on Thursday passed a sweeping tax bill largely along party lines that makes good on a Republican campaign promise to reform the country’s tax code. King was part of a small group of House Republicans from New York and New Jersey who rebelled because the House plan would erase tax deductions for state and local income and sales taxes and limit property tax deductions to $10,000. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., announced his opposition Wednesday to the GOP's tax bill. Earlier Thursday, President Trump visited Capitol Hill to meet with House Republicans ahead of the vote. Some House Republicans spoke warily of what might happen to the tax bill in the Senate.
