GOP Lawmaker Urges More Help for Wealthy Americans
Grothman said the GOP tax agenda helps middle-class Americans, but he argued Congress should do more for wealthy taxpayers.
- On Thursday, Rep. Glenn Grothman told a Republican policy panel that Congress "should do a little more" for wealthy Americans, drawing immediate scrutiny from Yahoo News and The Independent.
- Speaking in Troy, Michigan, Grothman argued the "Big Beautiful Bill" aims to help "the average guy" while suggesting additional tax cuts for the wealthy are necessary.
- CNN data analyst Harry Enten reported the "Big Beautiful Bill" added $4 trillion to the national debt, while the president's approval rating on government spending fell from-12% to-34% in a Saturday ranking.
- Facing Democrat Brad Smith in November, Grothman is "no stranger to controversial public statements," according to The Independent, which reported his 2023 complaints about judicial nominees.
- A 2020 Axios analysis assigned Grothman a "Trump Loyalty Index" of 93, ranking him the most "loyal" supporter among Republicans, providing context for his recent tax policy arguments.
