Trump and Schiff unite to push federal film incentives for Hollywood revival

President Donald Trump and Sen. Adam Schiff, once at odds, are backing a federal film and TV tax incentive to revive Hollywood after about 49,000 entertainment jobs were lost since 2022 as production shifts to other states and countries. Schiff says Congress should pass the incentive bipartisanly to bring back movie and TV jobs, while Trump emphasizes the need to “Make our Movie and Television Production Business Great Again.” The piece notes California’s incentive program and competition from Georgia, New York, Canada, and the UK, with legislative timing complicating any quick action amid a crowded political calendar.
