Vice President Kamala Harris proposed an expanded child tax credit of $6,000 for the first year of a child's life, a move similar to a $5,000 proposal by JD Vance.

President Biden used a personal anecdote about his father losing health insurance in the 1950s to justify new childcare and eldercare direct payments.
