President Joe Biden called for the renewal of monthly government payouts to families, noting its success at reducing child poverty.

“That child tax credit was really helpful and we gotta get that renewed,” Biden said Sunday, during a visit to Philabundance, a hunger relief organization in Philadelphia.
