They're still regurgitating the "Biden cut child poverty in half!" line that was premised entirely on the minimum wage hitting $15. They absolutely don't care about reality, they're still trying to convince themselves America can be "saved". It's Blue MAGA front to back.
I thought it was the Child Tax Credit that was going to cut child poverty in half (although it would still fail to do so since nearly half of impoverished families don’t file taxes…)

In reality it’ll probably cut it by a quarter.
