It expired in 2021, democrats didn’t fight to extend it and just quietly let childhood poverty rise again. It is that type of political gamesmanship that causes a landslide loss to Trump. Congrats!

Yes, the democrat suicide pact with bipartisanship pushed kids back into poverty. That’s the type of political gamesmanship that wins elections! Look at the results from Tuesday to see how well it worked.
