CNN Fact Checks Joe Biden on Several False, Misleading Claims He’s Made While CampaigningEthan Letkeman 6 Nov 2022
President Joe Biden has made several false or misleading claims while campaigning for congressional Democrats before the Midterm Elections, according to CNN.
Since October, Biden has been out on the campaign trail trying to boost at-risk congressional Democrats as the party loses momentum in the home stretch of the midterm cycle.
However, left-wing CNN highlighted several instances on Saturday where the president made false or misleading statements in October and November.
Trump Tax Cuts
CLAIM: On Thursday in New Mexico, Biden stated former President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts only benefited the top one percent, a claim he also made at this year’s State of the Union address.
VERDICT: While the tax cuts benefited top earners, middle-class Americans also received significant tax cuts in the following years after the legislation was signed. As Breitbart News’s John Carney writes:
Eighty-two percent of American middle-class households received a tax cut and Americans altogether received an average tax cut of $1,260. Ninety percent of Americans saw an increase in take-home pay. The tax cuts raised wage growth by 3.3 percent and helped foster historic lows in unemployment.
Furthermore, CNN, via the Tax Policy Center think tank, noted all income earners in each state received a tax cut.
