BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. DelBENE. Mr. Speaker, the tax bill we are considering today contains several wins for families and our economy, but one piece falls short. The child tax credit expansion would still leave behind millions of kids in families that need it the most.

Democrats offered a solution proven to cut child poverty in half, but Republicans rejected it. I will still continue leading the effort to fully expand the child tax credit, invest in our children, and lift up families.

While today's bill is imperfect, it does include policies I have championed, including the largest expansion of the low-income housing tax credit in several decades and policies to reduce double taxation on American and Taiwanese businesses and workers.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
