Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is proposing a $6,000 baby credit to ease the financial burden facing new parents.
Wall Street Journal reporter Dalvin Brown joins me.
Dalvin, what does it currently cost to have a baby in the U.S.
?
And those expenses don't stop there, right?
How have the current child tax credits benefited families?
How did VP Harris arrive at the $6,000 number for her proposal?

Who would be eligible for the $6,000 payment?
