Congress has previously rejected many of these tax ideas, even when Democrats controlled both chambers.

    Way to miss the forest for the trees. Though you probably figured no one should bother to read the article:

    The expiring measures included a broader standard deduction, lower marginal income rates for many Americans, and a generous deduction for owners of many closely-held businesses. The White House tax plan states that Americans making less than $400,000 should not see tax increases in a deal. That means that Ms. Harris wants to extend much of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, her Republican rival’s signature legislative accomplishment.
