Checked elsewhere

Checks published by other fact-checking organisations. We did not do these checks. Each one names who did, shows their rating in their own words, and links to their full article.

Their rating
Joe Biden, President

“In my first four months in office, more than two million jobs have been created. That’s more than double the rate of my predecessor, and more than eight times the rate of President Reagan.”

Washington Post rated this: Two Pinocchios

Washington Post says: The Fact Checker automatically assigns Two Pinocchios for claims that a president is responsible for job growth. Too many factors are beyond a president's control.

Joe Biden, President

“I hear all the folks on TV saying, ‘Why didn’t Biden get this done?’ Well, because Biden only has a majority of, effectively, four votes in the House and a tie in the Senate with two members of the Senate who vote more with my Republican friends.”

Washington Post rated this: Three Pinocchios

Washington Post says: There’s no evidence that either Manchin or Sinema vote more with Republicans. But they are certainly more moderate than other Democrats and in a 50-50 Senate, they have the power to block any part of Biden’s agenda.
