Fact-checking six of Kamala Harris's campaign claims
Kamala Harris has made several claims during her campaign against Donald Trump, focusing on issues like Social Security, inflation, job creation, and immigration. Fact-checking reveals that while Trump has stated he will not cut Social Security and Medicare, he has previously suggested cuts, making Harris's claim somewhat misleading.
Regarding inflation, Harris's assertion that it is down under 3% is accurate, but it remains higher than when Trump left office. Additionally, while 15.8 million jobs have been created under Biden, this recovery follows significant job losses during the pandemic, and many jobs would have returned regardless of the administration.
Harris's claims about Trump's impact on immigration and abortion laws also require context, as Trump did not directly vote on immigration bills and has stated he would not support a national abortion ban, despite state-level restrictions enacted after his presidency.
