Biden Lied during the debate.
(some of the quotes have been cleaned up to make sense)
*Biden: While talking about a bipartisan border bill, "by the way, the Border Patrol endorsed me, endorsed my position."
the U.S. Border Patrol’s union endorsed a bipartisan border security bill in February. But it didn’t endorse Biden.
*Biden: "I’m the only president this century that doesn't have any, this decade, that doesn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world like he did."
U.S. service members have died in combat abroad during Biden’s presidency.
In August 2021, U.S. service members were killed in an attack as the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan under Biden’s administration.
This January, U.S. soldiers were killed in a drone strike in Jordan.
*Biden: "We brought down the price (of) prescription drug(s), which is a major issue for many people, to $15 for an insulin shot, as opposed to $400."
Biden touted his efforts to reduce prescription drug costs to $15.
In his closing statement, Biden corrected the number to $35 after trump reminded him.
*Biden: Semiconductor jobs "to build these chips … pay over $100,000. You don’t need a college degree for them."
To earn a salary of $110,000 or higher, employees in the semiconductor industry need undergraduate or graduate-level degrees
The most a person would make without a four-year degree is about $70,000, according to a 2021 report from the Semiconductor Industry Association and Oxford Economics.
*Biden: "Black unemployment is the lowest level it’s been in a long, long time."
The Black unemployment rate has risen modestly to 6.1% in May 2024
*Biden: Trump "wants to get rid of Social Security, he thinks there's plenty to cut in Social Security."
Trump's campaign website says that not "a single penny" should be cut from Social Security, and he’s repeated similar lines in campaign rallies.
*Biden: "I said I’d never raise the tax on anybody if you're making less than $400,000. I didn’t."
Some corporate tax increases enacted on Biden’s watch have a small projected pass-through effect on taxpayers.
*Biden: Trump "wants to get rid of the ACA again."
Trump wrote on Truth Social that he "isn’t running to terminate" the ACA but to make it "better" and "less expensive."
Let's not pretend that Biden didn't lie.
