Democrats are pushing to reinstate the pandemic-era expanded child tax credit during the lame-duck session by including it as part of an expected government funding package.
On Wednesday, Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and Reps. Rosa DeLauro, D-Ct., Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., and Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., announced plans to counter Republican demands for corporate research and development (R&D) tax credits by insisting that the expanded child tax credit also be included.
