CNN’s Daniel Dale stated Wednesday on “Newsroom” that Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’ claims former President Donald Trump would lower Social Safety in a second time period are false.
Dale stated, “She’s been saying that at a bunch of occasions courting again to July, that Undertaking 2025, this conservative assume tank plan that units up proposals for a subsequent Republican administration, says that Social Safety needs to be lower underneath the subsequent administration.”
In North Carolina, at a marketing campaign rally, Harris stated, “Donald Trump will give billionaires and companies huge tax cuts, lower Social Safety and Medicare and make it simpler for firms to disclaim additional time pay for employees.”
Dale stated, “So challenge 2025 is on-line. It’s a large doc you possibly can learn it. Nowhere in there does it name for Social Safety cuts. The truth is, it barely mentions Social Safety. Now, it does say that the federal price range needs to be balanced and Harris allies would possibly let you know, properly, you possibly can’t fairly try this with out Social Safety cuts.”
“I feel that’s a fairly oblique argument, although, in comparison with what Vice President Harris is saying,” the CNN fact-check continued. “Equally Harris allies have stated that Trump, in his budgets, proposed as president to chop Social Safety. Positive, you possibly can level that out. However, once more, that’s not what she’s saying.”
