There was a spike in Arizona. It is gone. This is inaccurate. Over the summer, Florida, Texas and Arizona experienced record surges in cases that later eased — but now they are all seeing new surges. Trump: "When I closed travel from China he said I should not have closed. He said this is a terrible thing, you are a xenophobe, I think he called me racist.
Now he says I should have closed it earlier. Mostly False. Biden did accuse Trump of "xenophobia" in an Iowa campaign speech the same day that the administration announced the travel restrictions — Jan. Pants on Fire. There are about million people with private health insurance. Biden supports creating a public option, which would be a government-run insurance program, that would exist alongside and compete with other private plans on the health insurance marketplace.
And estimates show that only a small percentage of Americans would likely leave their employer sponsored coverage if a public option were available, and certainly not all million.
Experts said it is not socialized medicine. The Affordable Care Act tried to allow existing health plans to continue under a complicated process called "grandfathering," but if the plans deviated even a little, they would lose their grandfathered status. No one determined with any certainty how many people got cancellation notices, but analysts estimated that about 4 million or more had their plans canceled.
However, that still amounted to 4 million people who faced the difficulty of finding a new plan and the hassle of switching their coverage. Trump: "Joe got 3. This lacks hard evidence. Extending the charge to the former vice president lacks any proof whatsoever.
A report issued by the Republican majority on the Senate Finance and Homeland Security committees said Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer had a financial relationship with Elena Baturina, the widow of a man who had been mayor of Moscow until As its source, the report cites undisclosed documents.
Without seeing the documents the Republicans have relied on, this accusation remains unproven. This is accurate, according to tax records obtained earlier this month by the New York Times. Garten told the Times that the company had opened an account with a Chinese bank in order to pay local taxes associated with efforts to explore possible hotel deals in Asia, but that no deals materialized.
Trump: "I closed" my Chinese bank account "before I even ran for president. This is misleading. However, the lawyer, Alan Garten, told the newspaper that the account had been opened to "pay the local taxes" associated with efforts to strike hotel deals in Asia, and that when "no deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialized," the account has remained "inactive" since This is disputed.
In December , Giuliani went to Ukraine in an attempt to gather evidence of corruption by Biden and his son Hunter. The Post article quotes four former intelligence officials who said that Giuliani was seen interacting with people affiliated with Russian intelligence agencies on the trip.
Biden: Speaking of his work in Ukraine while his son was on the board of a Ukrainian energy company, "Nothing was unethical.
I carried out U. Not one single solitary thing was out of line. Bush, in an earlier story. In , the White House responded by saying members of the Biden family were "private citizens and where they work does not reflect an endorsement by the administration or by the Vice President or President.
Biden had boasted about that meeting, so it was no secret. But even here, the U. This distorts the record. Biden has offered a variety of Social Security plans. Starting in the s, he called for an increase in monthly benefits, then for a one-year freeze, then floated raising the retirement age, then backed a change in how benefits would increase.
Today, he calls for higher monthly checks for the oldest beneficiaries. In the s and s, Biden spoke in favor of Social Security freezes to rein in spending and reduce the deficit. As vice president during the Obama administration, Biden generally focused on protecting Social Security, and resisted moves to privatize.
Biden: If Trump ends the payroll tax, "Social Security will be bankrupt by , with no way to make up for it. The Social Security chief actuary did say that if the Social Security portion of the payroll tax were eliminated, the program would run out of money in three years. However, the chief actuary added that he was unaware of any plan to end the payroll tax, and the Trump campaign has said there is no plan to do so.
The White House has said that Trump favors something more limited: to forgive the taxes that would have been due from a four-month payroll tax holiday he enacted by executive order to ease the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
