Host George Stephanopoulos said one of the “first achievements” of the Biden administration was the American Rescue Plan, which gave out $1,400 stimulus checks and extended the child tax credit.
Buttigieg said Democrats “are proud of those accomplishments.”
“Remember, we have our challenges right now, but when the president took office, we were facing an economy that was at risk of going into freefall. The American Rescue Plan stopped that, and it went directly into easing the burden for Americans with those tax benefits that Americans got,” the secretary said.
