President Trump has promised Americans tax reform for Christmas. And, so far, it seems it’ll be a gift he can deliver. As of this posting, GOP leaders believe they have the votes in the Senate and House to pass the tax bill, which underwent a number of significant changes.

So, what’s next?

Again, as of this posting (the process has taken more twists than an episode of Law & Order), it appears the House is on track to pass the bill today (Tuesday, December 19). From there, the bill will be sent to the Senate for voting on Wednesday, December 20. If it passes the Senate, it will go to President Trump’s desk to be signed, which he is expected to do by the end of this week.

Update 12/19/17, 1:40 p.m.- the House just voted to pass the tax bill: https://www.house.gov/. The bill will now go to the Senate for vote. They could vote on it as early as tonight and, if passed, send to President Trump tomorrow.

But if there’s anything we’ve learned in 2017, it’s that nothing is sure until it happens.
