Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, is set to unveil a set of economic policy proposals Friday, highlighted by a new child tax credit.
The proposal, according to Harris-Walz campaign officials, would provide a $6,000 child tax credit for families within a newborn child’s first year. It also would bring back the larger child tax credit from the 2021 pandemic relief law that applied to older kids but lapsed at the end of that year.
“It will provide up to $3,600 per child tax credit for middle-class and the most hard-pressed working families with children,” officials said.
