House Democrats want to see permanent child tax credit in Biden's second recovery

A group of House Democrats have introduced a bill to permanently expand the child tax credit and want to see it as part of President Joe Biden's recovery plan, a new marker that could complicate the passage of the bill.

The push over the child tax credit is the latest in a high stakes negotiation over the President's bill and is just the most recent example of a place where the White House and Democrats on Capitol Hill may not be in the same place on just how big the President's recovery plan should be. Biden told lawmakers with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in an Oval Office meeting last week he wanted to try to make the child tax credit permanent, but discussed the challenges that the expansion could face in the Senate, a source familiar with the discussion told CNN.
