Joyce Craig, N.H. Gubernatorial candidate (D)

“Gubernatorial candidate Kelly Ayotte “has voted for national abortion bans, she has voted to defund Planned Parenthood, and she shepherded Neil Gorsuch through the Supreme Court process, and then celebrated when Roe v. Wade was overturned.”

PolitiFact rated this: Half True

PolitiFact says: Three of the four claims are generally accurate, but it's a stretch to call the bill Ayotte supported in 2013 and 2015 a national abortion ban; it would have allowed 99% of abortions to proceed.

“Dave McCormick is fully against abortion.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: Dave McCormick said he believed life "begins at conception" when he ran for Senate in 2022. This year, he's said he would not vote for a national abortion ban and he thinks abortion should be left to the states.

Kari Lake, U.S. Senate candidate

“Rep. Ruben Gallego is “controlled by the cartels. His own father was a Colombian drug trafficker, and so he’s got links to the cartel.”

PolitiFact rated this: Pants on Fire

PolitiFact says: Ruben Gallego's father was arrested for drug crimes when Gallego was a child. Gallego's father left the family when he was young and he said they have rarely spoken. There's no evidence Gallego has "links to the cartel."
