As the US presidential election approaches, fact-checking has revealed several false or misleading claims made by candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Trump claimed that inflation rates have never been higher, when in reality, they peaked at 14.5% during World War II. He also falsely stated that migrants are eating pets and taking almost every job. Additionally, he made vague statements about ending the Affordable Care Act.
Harris, on the other hand, claimed that Trump intends to cut Social Security and Medicare, which has been partially debunked as she lacks concrete evidence. Her statement about Trump's plan shrinking the economy and sending it into recession also exaggerates the findings of an independent economist.
