The Senate failed to pass a bill to expand tax credits for families with children in a 48 -44 vote, largely along party lines.

The bill would expand the tax credits and grant some business tax cuts to families.

Republican Sen. Rick Scott , Josh Hawley and Markwayne Mullin broke to vote for the proposal, while Democratic -aligned Sens. Bernie Sanders and Joe Manchin voted down.
