(PLGNN) - United States Vice President Kamala Harris faced off against former President Donald Trump at the ABC News Presidential debate.
PLGNN is evaluating the claims of Kamala Harris in this article.
Trump intends on implementing Project 2025
Trump has repeatedly said that he has nothing to do with Project 2025.
During the debate, Trump said, "I haven't read it. I don't want to read it, purposely. I'm not going to read it. This was a group of people that got together, they came up with some ideas. I guess some good, some bad. But it makes no difference."
Trump has previously said he disagrees with elements of Project 2025, however he has not said specifically what elements he disagrees with.
This claim is false.
Trump will sign a federal abortion ban
Harris said "If Donald Trump were to be reelected, he will sign a national abortion ban."
Trump has not endorsed a national abortion ban, and has repeatedly said the issue belongs with the states.
During his first term, Trump endorsed House legislation banning abortion nationwide after 20 weeks.
This claim is inconclusive.
Harris says she didn't want to ban fracking
Vice President Harris said "I made it that very clear in 2020 – I will not ban fracking,". However, during the 2019 presidential primary, Harris said “there’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”
Harris did not directly say in 2020 that she wouldn't ban fracking. During her only 2020 debate against then-Vice President Mike Pence, she said that Joe Biden would not ban fracking if he was elected president. She did not clarify her personal stance on fracking.
During the ABC News debate, Harris said, "I will not ban fracking. I have not banned fracking as vice president United States, and in fact, I was the tie-breaking vote on the inflation Reduction Act which opened new leases for fracking."
This claim is misleading.
Trump left with the worst unemployment since the Great Depression
Kamala Harris said that Donald Trump left office with the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression.
When Trump left office in January 2021, the unemployment rate was 6.4%. However, in April 2020 the unemployment rate went up to 14.8% during the Covid-19 pandemic, where is was the highest since 1939.
Harris had a variety of false and or misleading claims throughout the debate, however overall she kept to her facts.
