GOP Has 5-7 Day Tax Plan Window, Says Terry Haines

The transcript discusses the progress of a tax bill, using a football metaphor to describe its current status. It outlines the expected timeline for the conference report and subsequent voting in the House and Senate. The speaker anticipates the bill's passage by mid-week, with the President signing it before the year's end. Potential challenges are considered if the bill is not passed, including the impact of a new senator in Alabama. The speaker believes the Republicans have a limited window to act, but even if delayed, it wouldn't be disastrous for the bill.
