In an episode of “Face the Nation” that aired on August 27, 2023, Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace from South Carolina and Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna from California discussed their joint effort in launching the Congressional Bipartisan Affordable Child Care Caucus. This caucus aims to address the impending “child care cliff,” which refers to the expiration of $40 billion in pandemic-era funding for the child care industry on September 30, 2023.
During the interview, the congresswoman and congressman also touched upon political matters, including the potential nomination of former President Trump, who is currently facing four indictments. When asked if her party could win the presidency with Trump as the nominee, Rep. Mace acknowledged the frustration of voters with both major parties due to their contributions to issues like inflation and excessive spending. She emphasized that both parties need to make their case to the voters, regardless of the nominee.
Moving on, Rep. Khanna mentioned his previous concern that the White House was being too protective of President Biden and not allowing him to be his authentic self. He expressed the belief that the president has a compelling story to tell, citing achievements like bringing back manufacturing in Ohio. He emphasized that President Biden should be given the opportunity to connect with the public personally.
The discussion then shifted to the topic of abortion. Rep. Mace, a pro-life Republican, expressed her view that her party’s stance on abortion is too extreme. She commended former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley for focusing on protecting women without demonizing them. Rep. Mace stressed the importance of supporting women who have been victims of rape or incest and ensuring that all women have access to contraception. Rep. Khanna did not directly respond to Rep. Mace’s comment on abortion but reiterated his belief in President Biden’s integrity and transparency over the course of his political career.
After a commercial break, the interview returned to the main topic of the child care cliff, which threatens the availability of child care for millions of children. Reps. Mace and Khanna emphasized their shared concern and the urgent need to address the issue. While they may have differing approaches to child care issues, they agreed on several points, including the need for more support, training, and higher wages for child care workers. They also agreed on the necessity of government policies that promote affordable child care options. Rep. Mace emphasized the need to address certain cumbersome regulations that hinder the availability of child care.
In conclusion, despite their political differences, Reps. Mace and Khanna recognize the importance of affordable child care and the need for bipartisan collaboration to find practical solutions to the impending child care cliff.
