The statements by Obama are real, but the ad omits the dates that Obama made these statements and the full context of his remarks.
Leave the falsehoods online. We want to arm you with facts to prevent the spread of the illness.
With the Democratic primary essentially a two-man race, Bernie Sanders unloaded well-honed attacks on Joe Biden's track record. We vetted them.
Bernie Sanders has staked his presidential candidacy on expanding voter turnout. "The key to this election is, can we get millions of young people who have never voted before into the political process — many working people who understand that Trump is a fraud — can we get them voting?" Sanders told the Los Angeles Times. "That is the key to this election." How hard a task would it be to expand voter turnout — for Sanders or any Democratic nominee? And how hard will it be to increase youth turnout specifically? We questioned experts and looked at the data, including results from the Super Tuesday primaries.
Sanders' critics point to stats to show he's been an ineffective lawmaker. But some years he's up, some he's down, and sometimes his legislative strategy is a lesser part of a bigger policy plan.
We rounded up 11 quotes from various points in Bernie Sanders’ career about his own party identification — starting with the left-wing Liberty Union Party — and what he thinks of the Democratic Party.
President Donald Trump has often boasted of how well the U.S. economy is doing on his watch.
During the State of the Union address, Trump said unemployment was the lowest it has been for half a century, but it was a related claim -- about the number of people working in the U.S. -- that was our most-clicked item in February 2020.
As election results roll in from Super Tuesday — the mammoth primary day when votes are cast in 14 states, one U.S. territory, and Democrats overseas — expect to hear one particular number come up again and again: 15%. Why is that such an important figure? Because it’s the threshold that determines whether a candidate takes home delegates. And delegates, rather than votes, are the building blocks for winning the Democratic nomination.
How does Bernie Sanders qualify to run in the Democratic primary when he's an independent in the Senate? The bottom line is that he's done everything the Democratic National Committee has asked him to do in order to prove his support for the party.
Misinformation continues to spread about the novel coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19. Bogus claims focus on its origin along with phony cures. Pundits and politicians, meanwhile, have either downplayed the risk of the virus or exaggerated the Trump administration’s budget cuts and lack of preparedness.
President Donald Trump’s sunny attitude toward the White House’s response to the 2019 coronavirus was on display during his Feb. 26 press conference, when he downplayed the threat posed by the virus despite his own health experts’ stern warnings about the outbreak.
There’s no evidence to support the assertion that the CDC is exaggerating or fabricating the threat of the coronavirus.
