Since U.S. President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to become the Democratic nominee, rumors have swirled around her. We've fact-checked claims that range from whether Harris doesn't have biological children (true ) to whether Taylor Swift lost 30 million Instagram followers after endorsing her for president (labeled satire ).
Some of these claims were conspiracy theories, like a rumor Harris wore wireless earphones embedded in her earrings during the presidential debate with the Republican nominee, former U.S. President Donald Trump (unfounded ). Another claim came from a TV ad released by Trump's presidential campaign that said the Biden-Harris administration weaponized the IRS to confiscate workers' tips (false ). Be sure to keep an eye on this roundup.
We'll keep this collection updated whenever we publish a new article about the nominee.
