Top Republicans form new group to fight Biden tax hikes – By Jonathan Swan (Axios) / Mar 30 2021
Top GOP operatives have formed a group to fight President Biden’s plans to raise taxes to pay for his expected $3 trillion-plus infrastructure package.
Why it matters: The Coalition to Protect American Workers is the first major conservative group formed exclusively to block Biden’s tax agenda. Its leaders include Marc Short, who was former Vice President Pence’s chief of staff.
How it works: The group plans to spend at least $25 million on TV and digital ads and organizing, a person familiar with the plans told Axios. It will target members of Congress considering backing Biden’s plans, including moderate and vulnerable House Democrats in swing districts.
