GOP can’t defund the IRS. Dem Senate and Biden veto.

One major hurdle for the Republican Party and its plans to target IRS funding is the likelihood of any attempt to rescind the money succeeding. Despite the GOP-controlled House voting to pass the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act on Monday, it will almost certainly fail to clear the Democrat-controlled Senate. Biden could also use his veto powers to block any attempts for the GOP to dissect his Inflation Reduction Act, which he considers one of the biggest accomplishments of his presidency so far. Tony Reardon, national president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said that the GOP plans to target the new IRS funding is "short-sighted and destructive" as well as being a "stunt" which is destined to fail.
