This isn't complicated folks:

The Republicans in Congress (plus Manchin and Sinema) refused to renew the expanded Child Tax Credit in President Biden's American Rescue Plan, causing the child poverty rate to more than double.

A year and a half ago, child poverty hit a historic low of 5.2%. The latest figures put it at 12.4%.

Child poverty is a republican choice. Disgraceful. End of story.
