Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump present differing visions of the child tax credit. While Trump emphasizes a tax cut for all, Harris seeks an income guarantee aimed at reducing child poverty.
Trump's approach to the child tax credit is primarily to provide a benefit to higher-income families, which excludes the poorest children who need the most support, while Harris’s plan aims to aid low-income families and expand the safety net.
Supporters of Harris’s expanded child tax credit argue that it could significantly reduce child poverty rates, while critics contend that it might create dependency and diminish the incentive for parents to work.
Scott Winship from the American Enterprise Institute highlights that despite both candidates discussing the child tax credit, they have fundamentally different policies and objectives regarding how to support families.
