Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the Republican nominee for vice president, may not be fond of “childless cat ladies,” but he’s almost certain to skip a vote this week on legislation to expand the child tax credit.
The Senate is scheduled to take a procedural vote Thursday on a House-passed bill that would expand the credit for low-income families and revive a trio of business tax breaks, including a full, upfront deduction for research and development costs.
But Vance is scheduled to be about 2,000 miles away, on a campaign visit Thursday morning to the U.S. southern border in Cochise County, Ariz., to attack the Biden administration’s border policies.
