Fox News Sunday host Mike Emanuel confronted Senator Roy Blunt with data showing that Democrats' child tax credits substantially reduce child poverty, questioning why the Missouri Republican opposes President Joe Biden's Build Back Better Act.

The child tax credits, first approved as part of Biden's American Rescue Plan in March, provided families with monthly payments of hundreds of extra dollars for each dependent child. But the program expires this month as the Senate failed to pass the Build Back Better Act, which would have extended the child tax credits.
