Vice President. 63 claims checked by other fact-checking organisations, from 2019 to 2024. The ratings are theirs, in their own words.
PolitiFact says: Project 2025, which Donald Trump hasn’t endorsed, says states should be required to report full data on pregnancies that end in fetal death. They do not say progress during pregnancies should be tracked.
FactCheck.org says: Project 2025 calls for eliminating Head Start, but we found no instances of Trump saying he would “get rid” of Head Start.
PolitiFact says: Trump's wants states to decide abortion policy. Project 2025 does not require pregnancy monitoring.
FactCheck.org says: Economists consistently told us that the anti-price gouging proposal would have little effect on current grocery prices.
PolitiFact says: The size of the drop varies based on what time frame is used, but over the past year, the number of encounters along the southwestern U.S. border — a common way to measure immigration — has declined by 57% to 78%.
FactCheck.org says: She has supported those positions in the past.
FactCheck.org says: The government reports how much fentanyl has been seized by border officers, but how much has entered the U.S. undetected is unknown. Therefore, it’s not possible to know if there has been a reduction.
PolitiFact says: Most firefighters, teachers and nurses earn between $50,000 and $100,000, and 91% of people in that range pay less than 15% in taxes. Most billionaires and corporations pay a higher rate than that.
Washington Post says: This was not a border security bill
PolitiFact says: Under Biden and Harris, the overall U.S. unemployment rate and the rates for several ethnic and racial groups have been relatively low by historical standards. But these rates are all higher now than the record lows.
PolitiFact says: The Trump administration rolled back numerous Obama-era protections against LGBTQ+ discrimination under the Affordable Care Act. But legal challenges hampered enforcement of both rules, so the impact is less clear.
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.
PolitiFact says: The prepandemic job losses were 48,000, about one-fourth of the figure Harris cited. The 200,000 figure is in the ballpark for the number of manufacturing job losses for Trump's whole tenure, including the pandemic.
PolitiFact says: Donald Trump received the present-day equivalent of $413 million from his father or his father’s estate over the course of his lifetime, but only a fraction was available to him when he "started out."
PolitiFact says: The numbers are a little lower than that, and may fall further with revisions expected to be formalized in early 2025. But they're close.
PolitiFact says: The Defense Department confirmed the U.S. military is not engaged in a war. But Harris’ statement ignores that there are thousands of U.S. military service members stationed in areas that are considered combat zones.
PolitiFact says: Project 2025 would phase out some, if not all, federal funding for public K-12 schools and return the responsibility to the states. Schools also get a lot of their funding from state and local sources.
PolitiFact says: Aunque los aranceles se imponen separadamente de los impuestos, los consumidores sentirían su impacto de forma muy similar. Sin embargo, el impacto específico en dólares sobre los consumidores varía.
PolitiFact says: The specific projected dollar impact on consumers varies. Two estimates we found broadly support Harris’ $4,000 figure; two others show a smaller — though still significant — impact.
FactCheck.org says: Not all the funding has come from the IRA, and her jobs figure is an estimate based on announced projects.
