JD Vance Proposes $5,000 Child Tax Credit, Skeptical of Polling on Union Voters

Aug 11, 2024, 04:43 PM

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance has proposed more than doubling the federal child tax credit to $5,000 per child, aiming to bolster his campaign's pro-family stance. The current maximum credit is $2,000 per child for qualifying families. Vance's proposal comes as he faces criticism from Democrats for not attending a recent vote to preserve and expand the child tax credit, which all Republicans voted against. Despite this, Vance has been active in promoting family policies on morning shows, contrasting with the absence of Harris-Walz in media appearances. He also expressed skepticism about polling that shows the Trump-Vance ticket trailing Harris-Walz among union households, asserting confidence in union voters' support for President Trump.
