Who is benefiting the most from Trump's tax cuts

Season 2026 Episode 78 | 7m 44s

Tax Day is on Wednesday, and President Trump and Republican lawmakers are trying to draw attention to new tax cuts and increased deductions approved last year. But with the war, higher gas prices and other economic costs, some polls suggest many Americans don't feel they're benefiting much from the new law. Stephanie Sy discusses what has changed with Andrew Duehren of The New York Times.
