**Duplicity: Kamala Harris’s Child Tax Credit Hypocrisy Exposed**
In a stunning display of political inconsistency, Vice President Kamala Harris has proposed an expansion of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) despite having voted against a significant enhancement of the very same credit during the Trump administration.
In 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which was championed by then-President Donald Trump, doubled the child tax credit from $1,000 to $2,000 and raised the qualifying income thresholds substantially.
Harris was among those who opposed this landmark legislation, which provided crucial financial relief for middle-class families at a time when economic growth was surging.
Fast forward to today, and Harris is advocating for a plan that would increase the CTC to $6,000 for families with newborns, positioning herself as a champion for families she previously dismissed.
Her sudden shift in rhetoric raises questions about her sincerity—how can she genuinely advocate for an increase now when she once voted against an expansion that would have benefited countless American families?
Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance recently suggested a $5,000 child tax credit, prompting accusations that Harris is merely recycling conservative ideas to drum up political support as her approval ratings plummet.
Trump has even called her out directly, describing her as a “copycat” for appropriating elements of his proposals without understanding their importance to the American people.
Harris's flip-flopping on policies not only undermines her credibility but also exposes the broader Democratic strategy: to campaign on issues they previously dismissed when in the comfort of the majority.
As Harris attempts to distance herself from the failures of the Biden-Harris administration, her opportunism becomes glaringly apparent.
With the 2024 elections lurking on the horizon, it will be essential for voters to scrutinize whether her latest policy proposals are genuine efforts to assist struggling families or merely calculated political maneuvers designed to save her faltering electoral future.
America deserves leaders who stand firmly by their principles, not those who shift with the political winds.
