"So Mr President what has your government done for young families and in particular childcare and parental leave on your 4 years that will rally up the democratic base come 2024?"

I mean, there's this.

And this.

He's also the president: he can make proposals, he can sign executive orders, but he can't force funding for those things. He can't wave his hands and pass laws -- those are things congress does, and shockingly every single progressive or pro working class idea he or his party backs gets immediately shut down in congress by the GOP.
