JD Vance Stumps as Pro-Family But Skips Vote on Child Tax Break
- Kamala Harris campaign blasts Trump VP Pick for missing vote
- Vance’s spokesperson says wouldn’t have changed result
JD Vance, who generated campaign-trail controversy with arguments the government should more strongly favor families with children, skipped a Senate vote on a bipartisan tax plan that would have been a step in that direction.
Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked the $78 billion tax-cut package that would benefit an estimated 16 million children through an expanded child tax credit. It also would provide breaks for US businesses.
