Biden Courts Caregivers, Pledging to Expand Support if He Is Re-elected
Briefly

President Biden assured Democratic supporters of his commitment to expanding child care subsidies, early education, and paid medical leave if he secures a second term. He highlighted the importance of these measures in his agenda to fight against Republicans who previously obstructed such initiatives.
Biden advocated for 12 weeks of paid family or medical leave, substantial investments in preschool for 4-year-olds, extending child tax credit, and affordable high-quality child care at $10 per day. He emphasized the economic growth potential and the necessity of these initiatives.
Biden faced challenges in implementing care economy proposals earlier, with key initiatives dropped during negotiations with some conservative Democrats in 2021. He now aims to revitalize these ideas as the election battle intensifies, hoping for another term to pass these laws.
