Trump pitches SALT-fueled affordability in pivotal New York battleground

President Donald Trump visited Suffern in Rep. Mike Lawler’s Hudson Valley district to tout cost-relief from the SALT deduction expansion and other tax cuts, aiming to boost Lawler in a top battleground race while Democrats criticized the move as political theater. The visit underscores NY-17’s central role in whether Republicans can keep control of the House, with Lawler branding himself as a pragmatist who works with the president, and Democrats arguing the tax plan would hurt working families in the long run.
