Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance is facing criticism over his previous comments about people without children, including one 2021 remark denouncing “childless cat ladies” in government and another in which he said that, in order to “tax the things that are bad and not tax the things that are good,” people without children should pay a higher tax rate than people with children.

As vice president, she has advocated for the permanent adoption of the enhanced child tax credit that was temporarily in effect in 2021 under a pandemic relief law – a law that was signed by President Joe Biden after it was passed by Congress with only Democratic support.
