The debate puts Biden, who campaigned on reversing most of Trump's tax moves, including the SALT caps, in the unusual spot of siding against reversing a Trump policy. But so far, those lawmakers who want to reverse this particular Trump policy aren't budging. Proponents of keeping SALT caps, including progressives, have pointed to the fact that their removal would disproportionately benefit the wealthy. “It’s impossible to deny that Republicans when they fashioned their tax bill, were quick to try to use wedge issues wherever possible,” Totten said. Prior to the cap, the average SALT deduction in New Jersey had been upwards of $19,000, according to the Tax Policy Center.

The move to change filming locations is one of many by companies to combat state voting restrictions.

Trump's plan to start a new social media network is highly unlikely to succeed, experts have told Insider. Now, says his aide Jason Miller, he's planning to come roaring back with his own social media network within "about two or three months." "Until the talked-about social media platform is up, running, and being used, I wouldn't assume it exists." It is not clear that a new social media network will be much help in that regard. "There are hundreds of social media services out there, all competing for limited user attention and limited ad dollars.
