Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer is planning to bring President Joe Biden’s social spending and climate bill to the floor as soon as the week of Dec. 13, according to The Hill. Schumer plans to deliver the bill, known as Build Back Better, to the Senate floor once Democrats finish negotiations. Anna Aurilio, the Federal Campaign Director of Economic Security Project Action, joins us to look into what the bill entails including a proposal to expand the child tax credit.
