Vice President Kamala Harris appears to be copying yet another economic policy supported by the Trump-Vance ticket.
The Harris campaign announced Friday that she supports a $6,000 child tax credit.
Her expanded child tax credit involves “up to $6,000 in total tax relief for middle-income and low-income families for the first year of their child’s life when a family’s expenses are highest—with cribs, diapers, car seats and more—and many parents are still forced to forgo income as they take time off from their job,” the campaign said.
The Harris campaign’s announcement came just days after Senator JD Vance said he would support doubling the child tax credit to $5,000.
“I’d love to see a child tax credit that’s $5,000 per child,” Vance said in an interview with CBS on Sunday.
President Trump is reportedly weighing whether to endorse Vance’s policy suggestion.
“President Trump will consider a significant expansion of the child tax credit that applies to American families,” a Trump campaign official told Semafor. “President Trump respects and listens to his running mate Senator Vance.”
Harris’ child tax credit announcement was part of the campaign’s unveiling of her economic platform, which includes a slew of other polices.

This is not the first time Harris has jumped on a Trump ticket policy.
The Democratic nominee also blindsided Democrats when she announced that she supported getting rid of taxes on service workers’ tips.
“It is my promise to everyone here when I am president, we will continue our fighting for working families of America including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” she said at a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Trump had announced his “no tax on tips” policy just weeks earlier after his own June rally in Las Vegas, an area with a large service and hospitality industry due to the city’s tourism attractions.
Trump supporters had promoted the policy by writing “no tax on tips” on receipts at restaurants to encourage service workers to vote for Trump. Trump himself wrote the message on a receipt when he tipped $500 during a visit to a Philadelphia cheesesteak restaurant.
After his opponent embraced the policy, the Trump campaign accused her of stealing it.
“Kamala Harris, whose ‘Honeymoon’ period is ENDING, and is starting to get hammered in the Polls, just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS Policy,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “The difference is, she won’t do it, she just wants it for Political Purposes! This was a TRUMP idea – She has no ideas, she can only steal from me. Remember, Kamala has proposed the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY – It won’t happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
