The key facts
- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill in 2023 that provides paid family leave starting in January 2026.
- Democrats in Congress have proposed the Family Act since 2013, but this paid family leave plan has not progressed.
- President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better proposal initially included four weeks of paid family leave, but Sen. Joe Manchin, then a Democrat, objected to the bill. Without Republican support, that doomed the bill. The legislation that became the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act did not include family leave.
Come on, buddy, you got this.
That used to come up in context of what Trump was saying and fact checking. And then the stuff Biden was saying was too boring for fact checkers to follow up and then have it posted. But now!
You’re almost there, my friend.
