When we get the next Democratic trifecta, we need legislation that’s ready to pass on Day One. And our legislation should make it possible for parents to access that care the very same year.
Prepare universal child care legislation to pass on Day One of the next Democratic trifecta and make care accessible to parents that same year.
Occurrences
Evidence
Warren said Democrats need child care legislation ready to pass on Day One of the next Democratic trifecta and to make care accessible to parents the same year; she said she and Senators Patty Murray, Bobby Scott, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are drafting that bill now.
Warren and allied lawmakers launched a Child Care for America working group to coordinate broad support for landmark child care legislation, with principles calling for capped costs, no waiting lists, and urgent implementation.
Assessments
Warren publicly and concretely prepared universal child care legislation and formed a working group, which is meaningful legislative effort. But the core promise was to have it pass on Day One of a future Democratic trifecta and make care accessible that same year, and the evidence does not show passage or implementation. That makes this partial credit rather than full delivery.
