U.S. Senator John McCain of Arizona announced that he will vote yes on the GOP tax reform bill. His support increases the possibility that the legislation will pass the Senate this week.

In a statement, McCain said, “After careful thought and consideration, I have decided to support the Senate tax reform bill. I believe this legislation, though far from perfect, would enhance American competitiveness, boost the economy, and provide long overdue tax relief for middle class families.

McCain believes all Americans will benefit from GOP tax reform bill

He added, “For too long, hardworking people in Arizona and around the country have not seen a raise in their paychecks. This bill would directly benefit all Americans, allowing them to keep a higher percentage of what they earn.” He believes that all Americans will see tax cuts based on the analysis of the Joint Committee on Taxation.

Furthermore, the senator said he is pleased that the GOP tax reform bill will go through the normal legislative process. He noted that several hearings were held and the Senate Finance Committee performed a thorough mark-up. For months, asked the Senate to return to regular order.
