Doug Burgum (R-ND) Supports Expanding Child Tax Credit<\/h2>\n<p>Presidential\u200d hopeful Gov.\u200b Doug Burgum (R-ND) \u2064is throwing his support behind the expansion of \u200bthe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">child tax credit<\/a>,\u200c a position that is gaining popularity among Republicans who prioritize family support. In an interview with the Washington Examiner, the 67-year-old governor \u2063expressed his willingness to \u2062back a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/burgum-backs-bigger-child-tax-credit-amid-broader-gop-family-push\/\" title=\"Burgum supports increased child tax credit in GOP's family-focused agenda.\">larger federal\u2064 child tax credit<\/a> with work requirements, aligning himself with GOP supporters like\u2063 Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Mitt\u2063 Romney (R-UT).<\/p>\n<h3>Retail Theft Delivers an Economic\u2064 Blow for \u200bCompanies and\u200c Communities<\/h3>\n<p>Republicans have long debated the child tax credit, with \u2063supply-siders clashing with more populist, family-focused lawmakers. However, there has been a recent shift among lawmakers and GOP candidates to \u200cemphasize family support, including direct financial assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Burgum also stressed the importance of accessible, high-quality, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-harris-laughs-while-discussing-parents-struggling-to-educate-their-kids-during-pandemic\/\" title=\"WATCH: Harris Laughs While Discussing Parents Struggling To Educate Their Kids During Pandemic\">affordable child care<\/a> for parents. He highlighted North Dakota&#8217;s young \u2063and rapidly \u2063growing population and revealed\u200d that as governor, he signed\u2064 a multi-million-dollar package into law to support child\u2062 care services in the state.<\/p>\n<p>While\u2063 the funds are primarily directed towards child care, Burgum emphasized that they indirectly address barriers\u200b to workforce participation. One provision of \u200dthe legislation allocated $22 million to \u200cexpand North Dakota&#8217;s Child Care Assistance Program, \u2064which assists\u200c working families with the cost of \u2062child care.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We know when there is\u200b economic opportunity that\u2019s great for families and it\u2019s great for whether one parent wants to work, or two parents want to work. We\u2019ve got to make sure that everybody that wants to work has an opportunity to do that and \u200dthat we\u2019ve got affordability, quality, and accessibility in child \u200dcare, even in the rural areas\u200c of our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-announces-official-1-75-trillion-build-back-better-proposal\/\" title=\"Biden Announces Official .75 Trillion Build Back Better Proposal\">current child tax credit<\/a> has \u2064been in place for years, with the current amount set at $2,000 for minors since its doubling\u200c in 2017. However, as part\u2062 of President Joe Biden&#8217;s COVID-19 relief legislation, the child tax credit was temporarily increased. This raised the credit to $3,600 for children under 6\u2062 and $3,000 for older children, with the notable change of removing the income threshold for eligibility.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans largely opposed \u2064the temporary expansion due to the absence of work requirements, equating it to welfare \u200cwithout work. However, some Republicans, including Rubio and \u2063Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), proposed their own versions of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/obamas-top-economist-unemployment-benefits-not-lack-of-childcare-could-be-harming-recovery\/\" title=\"Obama\u2019s Top Economist: Unemployment Benefits, Not Lack Of Childcare, Could Be Harming Recovery\">tax credit expansion<\/a> that includes work requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Another proposal by Sen. Mitt Romney, supported by Sens. Richard Burr (R-NC)\u2064 and Steve Daines \u200d(R-MT), aims to raise the credit amount and \u200cmake it available to \u2063lower-income individuals, allowing families to receive the full credit once \u200btheir \u2063income reaches just $10,000.<\/p>\n<p>The growing support within the GOP for expanding \u200dthe child \u2064tax credit reflects a broader shift towards more populist policies. Some members of Congress seek to reshape the GOP as the party of the working class and blue-collar America.<\/p>\n<p>While there may be differences within the GOP regarding family support policies and trade policy, there is relative agreement on the effectiveness\u2064 of\u200c the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs \u200bAct, \u2064commonly\u2063 known as the Trump\u2064 or Republican tax cuts.<\/p>\n<p>A top priority for all 2024 candidates is extending the expiring provisions of\u200c the\u2064 law, and Burgum has pledged to continue supporting the 2017 tax cuts if elected\u2062 president.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I was a \u2064strong supporter when they\u200c came out and \u2062those should absolutely go forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For \u200dmore information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click here to read more \u2064from the Washington Examiner<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presidential candidate Gov.
