President-elect Trump and House Republicans in favor of raising the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap discussed lifting the debt limit in legislative vehicles other than the “big, beautiful bill” of Trump’s policy priorities during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend, Rep. Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.) and three other sources told The Hill. The conversation included discourse about the different ways Congress could increase the debt limit, including through reconciliation — which Republicans could do on their own — or regular order, a process that would require buy-in from Democrats, LaLota and two of the sources said. Trump did not say what his preferred strategy was, one of the sources said.
