Politics - Vice Presidential Debate: Vance & Walz Fact-Checked | Revry
3 min No genre TV-14In the recent vice presidential debate, JD Vance and Tim Walz discussed key issues like energy, immigration, and healthcare, but some claims require further investigation. Vance claimed that under Kamala Harris, the US failed to produce enough energy to address climate change. However, the US achieved record oil and natural gas production under the Biden-Harris administration, while renewable energy sources like solar and wind also expanded. Vance downplayed the role of carbon emissions in climate change, although scientists overwhelmingly agree that fossil fuel use drives global warming. On immigration, Vance repeated a common myth, stating that fentanyl is brought into the US by undocumented immigrants. In reality, most fentanyl is smuggled by US citizens at legal border crossings, not by migrants seeking asylum. Walz falsely claimed that Project 2025, a plan by the Heritage Foundation, would require pregnancy registration.
