Vice President Kamala Harris responded to the issues of undecided Latino voters at a city corridor by Univision Noticias organized Oct. 10.
Harris outlined the insurance policies she needs to execute as president and criticized her opponent, Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump, on the occasion in Las Vegas, moderated by TelevisaUnivision journalist Enrique Acevedo.
Univision plans to interview Trump in an analogous format on Oct. 16 in Miami.
The viewers requested Harris whether or not she would supply extra pathways to legalization of immigrants, how she would get individuals to docs quicker and the way she would tackle excessive costs.
Right here, we analyze a few of Harris’ statements.
“Undertaking 2025, which is his plan (Trump) if he’s elected president once more, Google it and you may see the plan that he has that features eliminating Medicare, Social Safety.”
False.
In earlier campaigns and earlier than his presidency, Trump stated he was keen to chop Social Safety. However in his present presidential marketing campaign, he says he is not going to remove Social Safety or Medicare. He has solely proposed modifications to Medicare.
In a March interview with CNBC, Trump stated that “there’s rather a lot you are able to do when it comes to entitlements, when it comes to reducing.” However he shortly backtracked, and his CNBC remark stands at odds with primarily every thing else Trump has stated through the 2024 presidential marketing campaign. His marketing campaign web site says not “a single penny” must be lower from Social Safety.
Undertaking 2025 is a 900-page handbook of coverage proposals for the subsequent Republican administration created by the conservative Heritage Basis. Trump has distanced himself from Undertaking 2025; he stated on Reality Social that he “is aware of nothing” concerning the handbook.
The handbook proposes modifications to Medicare. For instance, it needs Medicare Benefit, Medicare’s non-public insurance coverage providing that requires prior authorization for medical companies, to be the default choice for enrollees, as a substitute of unique Medicare. The handbook doesn’t suggest eliminating Social Safety.

“My opponent obtained handed $400 million on a silver tray and filed for chapter six occasions.”
Half True.
Trump obtained the present-day equal of $413 million from his father or his father’s property over his lifetime, in line with a 2018 New York Occasions report concerning the Trump household’s funds.
The Occasions wasn’t particular about how a lot Trump would have obtained from his father by the point he entered the actual property enterprise with the household firm; it seems to be someplace from $1 million to $2 million after adjusting for inflation. However Trump at all times had an inexpensive expectation of inheriting a share of his father’s enterprise.
Trump’s corporations have filed for chapter six occasions.
“Trump has stated he will probably be a dictator on Day 1.”
Trump stated he was being sarcastic. In 2023, through the Republican major, some Trump critics inside the celebration raised issues that if Trump is reelected he could be a dictator.
Throughout a Dec. 5, 2023, city corridor, Fox Information host Sean Hannity gave Trump an opportunity to reject the thought. As an alternative of denying it outright, Trump stated he could be a dictator solely on “Day 1.” Trump added: “We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that I’m not a dictator, okay?”
In an April interview with Time journal, Trump was requested concerning the remark made on Fox Information. He stated it “was stated in enjoyable, in jest, sarcastically.”
“Latinos are 70% extra prone to be identified with diabetes.”
The information we discovered is a bit decrease. Hispanic adults had been 60% extra prone to be identified with diabetes than non-Hispanic white adults, 2022 information from the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention reveals.
