WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden White House wants voters to know about its differences with Republicans over taxes. The White House’s National Economic Council director, Lael Brainard, is to deliver remarks Friday on the 2017 income tax cuts that are set to expire after next year. The expiration of the tax cuts creates a challenge for the winner of November’s presidential election.

Former President Donald Trump says higher taxes would wreck the economy.
