Consider when Republicans were applauding Kamala Harris ‘ performance as a terrible advocate? Well, obviously, she also is.
Her first major policy revelation, of course, was announcing that, if elected, she would “eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitility ]sic ] workers”, which Donald Trump had proposed months earlier.

It turns out that Kamala was n’t done plagiarizing Trump’s platform.
Ahead of a conversation in North Carolina, the Harris-Walz plan unveiled a deal of over a dozen financial laws designed to “lower prices for American households”, which include her controversial Soviet-style cost controls, a$ 25, 000 payment for first-time owners, and a Child Tax Credit offering$ 6, 000 per child during a baby’s first year.

Does that last one ring a little comfortable to you? It should, because earlier this month, Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio ), said that he wanted to increase the child tax credit.
Tell me specifically what you want to do to increase the child care income credit because it’s currently equivalent to two great per child, CBS’s Margaret Brennan posed the question earlier this year.
” Well, I think one of the things you can do is make it bigger per baby, “he replied”. We’d like to see it valued more, in my opinion.
” Do you have a variety in mind? ” Brennan asked.
” Suddenly, President Trump and I have proposed that. I mean, look, I’d like to see a child tax credit that’s$ 5, 000 per kid. But you, of training, have to work with Congress to see how feasible and practical that is.”

Vance also discussed his efforts to reduce shock medical expenses for kids, especially when they unintentionally use outside-of-network doctors. He emphasized his aid for pro-family plans and emphasized that he had sponsored legislation to stop this behavior.
Vance even criticized Harris for opposing the expansion of the Child Tax Credit.
I’ve got to push up a little bit, Margaret, because the Harris management instantly jumped up and said,” We disagree with this. Harris ‘ campaign said,” We disagree with this, he pointed out.” Do they therefore want the Child Tax Credit to be eliminated? Or were they just being negligent in their responses to my comments three years ago?

” They really understand it, maybe in an appointment with you,” Vance suggested”. But of course, Kamala Harris refuses to perform conversations with anybody.”
Without the common conversations or press conferences, Harris responded by developing her own Child Tax Credit plan as part of her wider financial plan. Her attempts to put forth a policy agenda have n’t so far gone well. She’s now been called out for plagiarizing Trump’s” No Tax on Tips “plan, and the Washington Post actually trashed her Soviet-style” price controls “plan.  ,

I have no doubts that the democratic advertising may be snarky about the proposed Child Tax Credit. Although it may not be the same as what JD Vance suggested, does anyone really think that this would have been on her mind if not for Vance?
