VP Supplemental Pool #3 --

At 9:49 Sharron Holquin, who made brief remarks, introduced VP Harris.

VP Harris called Sperling and Yellen "Two of the most energetic champions" for tax credits.

"If you are eligible .. we want you to get those credits"

"Working families deserve a break."

VP discussed receiving letters from Americans who "work hard everyday" and still "struggle get by."

"We are on the path to cut child poverty by 40 percent .. this is historic."

VP Harris urged all who think they may be eligible to go to ChildTaxCredit.Gov.

She also emphasized the need to file taxes and urged states and organizations to spread the word.

"I believe our work will be worth it because .. when we do that we lift up American families."

Going back to the letter she received from a recipient of the child tax credit:

"Nothing fancy. Just making a difference," the letter said.

VP walked off at 9:56am.

VP Supplemental Pool #5/DNC fundraiser - technical difficulties

Good evening. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, I was unable to join the virtual DNC fundraiser event with Vice President Harris this evening at 6pm. The White House will be sending around a transcript from stenographers.

Have a good night,
