With how US govt uses tax (instead of other adhoc channels) to interact with citizens, let's be honest, reducing the size of the tax code is the least likely event to happen. It would require a complete change of paradigm in how the govt works to make it happen.

Nobody is incentivized to reduce the number of laws on the books, but I would vote for any politician whose position was "I will only repeal laws."
The US government is obsessed with giving narrowly-targeted groups of people money through the most obtuse mechanism possible, and it is ridiculous. If you were just sent a check when you bought an EV (for example), a lot of the tax stuff would be much simpler.
