A Wall Street Journal front-page retrospective and interview with the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, says of McConnell, "He also shepherded Trump's sole major legislative accomplishment, the 2017 tax bill, through the Senate."
It seems strange to contend, in a news article, that the tax bill was Trump's "sole major legislative accomplishment." You could make a strong case that the First Step Act, a criminal justice reform bill enacted in 2018, and the CARES Act, a March 2020 Coronavirus relief and stimulus bill, also qualify as major legislative accomplishments, as did the follow-up Covid-19 aid measures passed during Trump's presidency. Trump also signed into law a bill creating the 988 suicide prevention hotline, which has received more than 8 million calls, texts, and chats since launch.
Where were the editors? It'd be easy enough to just dial this back to: "He also shepherded a major Trump legislative accomplishment, the 2017 tax bill, through the Senate."
