Democratic U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has made many claims during her 2024 presidential campaign. We've fact-checked claims Harris has made in campaign ads about working at a McDonald's when she was a college student, as well as whether she told Oprah Winfrey she was a gun owner (true ).
Some of the claims Harris has made that we've fact-checked have been about former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee. One claim was about whether Trump would sign a national abortion ban , while another claim focused on his proposed tariffs plan .
Be sure to keep an eye on this roundup; we'll keep it updated whenever we publish a new article about a claim Harris has made.
