Senator Elizabeth Warren has become one of the nation’s most outspoken advocates for the importance of accessible childcare.

And in February, she co-sponsored a bill that she said would give half of American families access to childcare for no more than $10 per day. Like everyone else who covered the 2020 campaign, I had already heard the story about Aunt Bee, the elderly aunt who came to help Warren with her children while she was a young mom teaching law.
