Reply to "Live updates: Trump's first speech to Congress"

Trump repeats his push for school voucher program in joint address to Congress. But how would it be accomplished?

 

President Trump announced steps toward creating a national school voucher program during his speech to Congress on Tuesday night.

"I am calling upon members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African American and Latino children," Trump said. "These families should be free to choose the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school that is right for them."

Trump didn't provide details, but experts have said that the most likely way to do this at a national level would be through a tax credit program.
