President Donald J. Trump during an interview with Chris Wallace on Sunday says that, if the second coronavirus relief package doesn’t include a payroll tax cut, that he will consider letting it languish on his desk and let it go without his signature.

As The Hill reports:

“I’ll have to see, but yeah, I would consider not signing it if we don’t have a payroll tax cut,” Trump told Fox News’s Chris Wallace in an interview that aired Sunday. 

The president insisted that “a lot of Republicans” are in favor of a payroll tax holiday, though some Republicans have been cool to the proposal since Trump floated it earlier this year. Democrats have opposed the idea of a payroll tax cut. 

Trump has previously said he wants to see a payroll tax cut in the next coronavirus relief bill, and the White House suggested last week that the measure was non-negotiable.

A payroll tax cut would help employers keep their workers instead of having to lay them off because of the pandemic. A payroll tax cut would even incentivize some employers to hire additional workers.
