Here's a look at the false claims you might hear during tonight's presidential debate
==========
The article discusses the false and misleading claims that may be made by former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden during the presidential debate. Trump has made false claims about his economic record, including the idea that he gave the U.S. its 'greatest economy in history,' when in reality, economic growth and job creation have been stronger under Biden. Biden has also made misleading claims about the economy, such as falsely stating that gas prices were $5 when he took office. Trump has made false claims about crime rates, suggesting that crime has skyrocketed since he left office, when in fact, violent crime is close to its lowest point in 50 years. Trump has also continued to falsely claim that he was the real winner of the 2020 election, despite the fact that Biden won with 306 electoral votes and a popular vote margin of over 7 million. Both candidates have made misleading claims about foreign affairs, with Trump falsely claiming that his administration gave Ukraine the approved funding ahead of schedule and falsely accusing Ukraine of interfering in the 2016 U.S. election. Biden has misleadingly taken credit for the formation of the Quad, a group including the U.S., Australia, Japan, and India, when it was actually formed in the early 2000s and revived under Trump. The article provides a fact-check of these claims and highlights the importance of fact-checking during the debate.
