Kamala Harris Proposes 7% Cap on Family Child Care Costs

The Democratic nominee outlines a plan to limit child care expenses and expand family support policies.

Vice President Kamala Harris announced a policy to cap family child care expenses at 7% of household income.
Harris emphasized the need for affordable child care during a live interview with the National Association of Black Journalists in Philadelphia.
The 7% cap could significantly reduce child care costs, which currently range from 8% to 19.3% of median family income.
The proposal is part of a broader family support agenda, including a $6,000 tax credit for families with newborns and expanded child tax credits.
Critics argue that the plan lacks sufficient funding details and may not address the diverse needs of modern families.
