Transportation Department Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a frequent cable news surrogate for Democratic presidential nominee
Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz jokes with kids May 25, 2023, as he shows off a bill he signed at the State Capitol in St. Paul, Minn., to establish a paid family and medical leave program in the state starting in 2026.
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. and Vice President Kamala Harris, praised the track record of her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

The White House also highlighted Republican opposition to a family leave proposal in Michigan, where a Michigan House GOP memoIn 2022, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota flipped the Senate and maintained control of the House, and Walz won a second term as governor.
Jane Waldfogel, a paid leave expert and a Columbia University School of Social Work professor, told PolitiFact that Republicans are more supportive of paid leave than they’ve been in the past, but that there are disagreements about who should be covered and how the leave would be funded. A bipartisan group of federal lawmakers have taken steps to research paid family leave, but it hasn’t led to a bill. Democrats have proposed paid family leave bills akin to what Walz signed for a decade.
