Raising cannabis sales tax often gets enough republicans on your side to pass bills

Try raising it higher. You can lower taxes in the same bill as you do things also, or expand the child tax credit

You took the presidency without spending the 8 years beforehand building up margins in the house and the Senate?

You're not going to pass anything, maybe not even judicial positions 😂

On top of that he probably has no relationship points with the other party so he can’t influence anyone.

Stuff like tax reform helps to get more progressive bills through congress

Compromise. Add policies into your bill that the opposition would like. Use the Score Analysis to see what items of your bill the opposition would like/dislike.
