Senate Finance Chair Wyden is facing challenges in addressing Republican demands in the House tax bill negotiations. Senate Agriculture Chair Stabenow prefers delaying the farm bill over compromising on climate funding and safety net programs with Republicans. Fissures are emerging among GOP Senate Finance members over the $78 billion tax bill, with disagreements on concessions. Top Republican Mike Crapo is resistant to the bipartisan tax deal, citing concerns about the CTC lookback provision and filing season changes.

Wow, this statement from @MikeCrapo on tax talks: “Efforts to pressure Senate Republicans to rubber stamp the Wyden/Smith tax deal have been counterproductive," listing concerns with CTC lookback, filing season Have heard about a lot of outreach from biz executives to senators
NEW: Senate Finance’s top Republican @MikeCrapo with a new statement on the Wyden-Smith tax deal Says his concerns with bill remain the same - like with CTC lookback - but colleagues’ issues have grown with time including about making 2023 changes at this point in filing season: https://t.co/s0JVGutko0
Senate Democrats care more about climate change and welfare than helping our farmers. We will never get a Farm Bill done with this mindset. https://t.co/Bv9S989JwF

Senate Finance Chair Wyden getting frustrated with addressing R demands in House tax bill. He tells me he accommodated Crapo/GOP concerns about CTC lookback provision in tax negotiations, but it’s still a problem with them. “It’s time to get to yes,” Wyden argues
