Donald Trump, Former U.S. president

“During her term, it’s not even believable, she let in 13,099 convicted murderers," referring to Vice President Kamala Harris and people entering the country illegally.”

FactCheck.org rated this: False

FactCheck.org says: The “vast majority” of the 13,099 entered the U.S. and had their custody status determined before the Biden administration, according to the Department of Homeland Security. They also gained entry legally and illegally.

Donald Trump, Former President

“The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act "emails ballots overseas without any citizenship check or verification of identity, whatsoever.”

FactCheck.org rated this: False

FactCheck.org says: The methods of verifying an overseas voter's identity and eligibility vary by state, but most require either a valid state driver's license or the last four digits of a person's Social Security number.

Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States

“Goldman Sachs, Moody's, Wharton School of Business and 16 Nobel laureates "have collectively determined" that her economic plan "would strengthen the economy" and former President Donald Trump's "would weaken it.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Misleading

FactCheck.org says: Harris was mostly correct in her description of Moody's Analytics, the Financial Times survey and the 16 Nobel laureates. But she is wrong about the Wharton analysis and exaggerates what Goldman Sachs said.

Social media posts

“Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen left Kamala Harris’s name OFF the Montana absentee ballot! …Republicans out here using weaponized incompetence to steal the election.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Not the Whole Story

FactCheck.org says: Montana temporarily took down its online system used by citizens and military personnel voting abroad to fix a technical glitch that omitted the Democratic presidential and vice presidential candidates.

JD Vance, Republican vice presidential nominee

“Thanks to her [Vice President Kamala Harris'] open border, murders are up 81% in Springfield, Ohio.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Distorts the Facts

FactCheck.org says: There were nine murders in 2023. That’s an 80% increase from 2021 — but one fewer than the 10 murders in 2020, when Trump was president. There's no evidence that immigrants are responsible for committing murders.
