On News Nation’s “Morning in America” show, Lara Trump, the Republican National Committee Co-Chair and daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump was asked how the Trump family is doing as the trial continues, and if the trial will affect campaign fundraising. She talked about her father-in-law’s strength and the support he receives, mentioning the $100 million raised in the four weeks she took over the RNC as co-chair and how 98% of those donations were under $200, showing that the average person in the country is behind her father-in-law.
The National Taxpayers Union Foundation released its annual “tax complexity study,” using the latest IRS data to estimate the time and compliance burdens associated with filing income tax returns.

The Republican National Committee warned the public about President Biden’s recent call for a $4.9 trillion tax increase and a higher business tax rate.
