EXCLUSIVE: Pence group knocks Vance plan to pay stay-at-home parents up to $9K per child
Friday, September 11, 2026
Advancing American Freedom, a political group founded by former Vice President Mike Pence, stated that Vice President JD Vance's proposal to provide childcare subsidies of up to $9,000 per child to stay-at-home parents could result in government intrusion and reduce work incentives. The group did not provide specific details about which aspects of the plan would constitute government intrusion or how the subsidies would create work disincentives. Vance has promoted the subsidy as a way to support families choosing to have one parent remain home with children.
