“We’re anxious to have the ball and run with it,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters Tuesday, referencing the budget reconciliation bill that has passed the House and is now being considered by the upper chamber. 

The South Dakota Republican emphasized that he thought Republicans had a vision for what they would like to see in the potentially landmark legislation.

“We have an agenda that everybody campaigned on; most notably, the president of the United States,” Thune said. 

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., who chairs the Senate Republican Policy Committee, concurred, stressing the importance of the bill to small businesses.

West Virginia small businesses “are very anxious for the depreciation and the expensing, so that they can grow their businesses and hire more people,” Capito explained.
