Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance proposed more than doubling the federal child tax credit to $5,000 over the weekend, but recently missed the chance to vote for an expanded credit—an effort his fellow Senate Republicans blocked.

Kamala Harris has mastered turning women’s fashion into a subtle power play. Here are six ways she’s done it, plus tips for how you can do it, too.

Vice president candidates present stark contrast on voting issues. Here’s what you need to know about Tim Walz and JD Vance.

As governor of Minnesota, Walz has made school lunches free for all students, created a paid family and medical leave program, increased public school funding, legalized recreational marijuana, and made abortion a fundamental right under state law.

Harris and President Biden are calling on Congress to establish term limits and a more binding, enforceable code of ethics for Supreme Court justices. “These popular reforms will help to restore confidence in the Court, strengthen our democracy, and ensure no one is above the law,” Harris said.

Andy Beshear knocked JD Vance and hyped a Kamala Harris presidency at a Democratic event in Iowa.

Vance wants to give parents more votes than people without children and has been outright hostile to those without kids as part of his worldview that involves using the power of the US government to promote higher birth rates.

During her first speech as the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, Kamala Harris said she’d fight to make child care more affordable, pass paid family leave, and restore reproductive freedom.

From her time as a prosecutor to her term as vice president, Harris has been a strong advocate for reproductive rights and gun safety laws, pursued justice for victims of crime, and has sought to push back on growing right-wing extremism. 

During her time as vice president, Harris has helped pass laws that lowered healthcare costs, invested in childcare and housing, and advanced efforts to fight climate change.
