WALL STREET JOURNAL:  Trump Would Double Down on Tax Cuts in Second Term

"Mr. Trump, who faces Democrat Joe Biden in the first presidential debate tonight, also has said he would cut the top capital-gains tax rate to 15% from 20%. He backs incentives to relocate production to the U.S., particularly for medical supplies needed to fight pandemics.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER: White House worried about Republican opposition to controversial Trump Fed pick

“The White House is really not sure they have the 50 votes in the Senate to confirm her,” Moore told the Washington Examiner. Moore met with Trump and multiple senior White House officials on Wednesday.

Shelton is not expected to get support from any of the 47 senators who are Democrats or independents. Now, there are concerns that she does not have enough support from Republicans to garner the 51 votes necessary for confirmation.

Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the Republican whip, told reporters Tuesday that Shelton doesn't have the votes needed for confirmation. Yet Trump’s National Economic Council director, Larry Kudlow, said Thursday at an event hosted by the Economic Club of New York that Trump remains firmly behind her nomination. Kudlow added that he thinks the White House can get the 50 Senate votes for her confirmation.
