Senators urge action from Biden
Five senators, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Raphael Warnock of Georgia, and Ron Wyden of Oregon, wrote a letter to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in January, urging them to get an extension of the credit done, CNN reported.
“The expanded CTC is a signature domestic policy achievement of this administration and has been an overwhelming success,” wrote the senators.
“The consequences of failing to extend the CTC expansion are dire, particularly as families face another wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
“After historic progress, it is unacceptable to return to a status quo in which children are America’s poorest residents and child poverty costs our nation more than $1 trillion per year,” they added.
