Dozens of House Democrats are calling on caucus leadership to extend the enhanced child tax credit in the lame-duck session, as lawmakers look to tick off more legislative priorities in the final weeks of the current Congress.
Members of the New Democrat Coalition — the largest Democratic coalition in the House — penned a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) on Thursday requesting that they “prioritize the enhanced [child tax credit] in any end-of-year package.”
Congressional Democrats expanded the child tax credit in the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill President Biden signed in March, just weeks into his presidency.
