Summary
A faction of Senate Democrats are urging President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in a new letter on Wednesday to keep the expanded child tax credit in the $2 trillion social and climate bill that's stalled out in the Senate. "Without the expanded credit, nearly 10 million children will be thrown back into or deeper into poverty this winter, increasing the monthly child poverty rate from roughly 12 percent to at least 17 percent."It comes as the program is in jeopardy of falling out of the bill due to lingering objections from Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a conservative Democrat.
