Promise Details

Harris pledged to establish a national paid leave program offering up to 12 weeks for family or medical reasons. She argued it would help working parents and caregivers. Though proposals appeared in Biden’s Build Back Better framework, the paid-leave component was dropped from final legislation.

Why it is broken

The administration proposed it, but the legislation was dropped from major bills and no national or federal program was established.
