Her campaign announced on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris is in favor of a child tax credit. This is the same policy as the Trump/Vance ticket.
Harris has not been the first to copy Trump’s populist agenda. She also copied Trump’s policy of not taxing tips, which is popular among workers in the service industry.
Steve Guest, a Republican communicator, posted that “Kamala Harris copied President Trump’s position on no tax on tips.” “Now she’s copying JDVance on the child tax credit.”

Axios reported Harris’s proposal:
State of play: This economic plan offers tax breaks for middle-class families. It also includes a $6,000 tax credit for children during their first year, when costs rise and incomes often fall as a parent leaves the workforce to care for a child.
Harris, echoing Biden’s desire, wants to bring the expanded child tax credits back in 2021, which were $3,600 for children under 5 years old and $3,000 older, as part of the American Rescue Plan.
The proposal would increase the earned income credit for lower-income adults without children, a group that is often overlooked by federal programs to combat poverty.
Harris will deliver a plan to fix the U.S. Economy on Friday under the direction of the Administration. Although some policies had been prematurely announced, Harris campaign advisors were concerned about releasing the “thorny specifics” of their economic plans because they could backfire on the campaign.
According to media reports, she intends to implement price controls to curb alleged price gouging following inflation caused by the administration. The White House has released more information on the Biden and Harris economic agenda.
Harris is expected to avoid answering questions from the press on Friday. This would be the 26th day that she has avoided unscripted media conferences since entering the presidential race.
Since June 24, 2024, the media has not interviewed Harris for television. Eight months ago, on December 2, 20,23, the last time she was reportedly interviewed by the media at a sole news conference.
A recent poll revealed that 70% of Democrats and Independents who voted for Joe Biden as President in 2020 are mostly unaware of Harris’s radical and controversial positions.
