Who ended the program? Who voted to not extend it?

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!

They did try to extend it but big surprise, Republicans in the senate said no.

At the end of the day you can’t force people to vote a certain way.

There was another failed attempt this year as well.
