“Kari Lake lost the Arizona governor’s race in 2022 because Maricopa County “machines just happened to be broken” — “only the Republican machines.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Misleading

FactCheck.org says: Biden supports extending the tax cuts championed by Trump for people making less than $400,000. Only the top 20% of earners saw average tax savings in the "thousands" ($5,790 on average) under that tax law in 2018.

Social media posts
