Project 2025 is a comprehensive plan by the Heritage Foundation to fundamentally reshape the federal government and eliminate checks and balances, allowing the President to freely implement far-right policies. Project leaders have called it the “blueprint” for President Donald Trump’s second term.
As we arrive on Election Day of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Race, you or your loved ones may still be undecided about who to vote for. We have compiled a side-by-side, nonpartisan comparison of the top two presidential campaigns—Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump—in three major areas: economy, health, and immigration.
Claim: Some Republicans want to phase out Medicare and Social Security, two popular and expensive social programs run by the federal government to aid seniors.
Rating: This claim is MOSTLY TRUE.
Claim: Republicans have said that President Joe Biden and the Democrats support late-term abortion, including up until the moment of birth.
Rating: This is MOSTLY FALSE. Biden supports Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that made abortion legal in the United States, and allowed abortions up until about 24 weeks (six months) of pregnancy. After that point, abortion is only allowed in situations where the woman’s life is threatened or if the fetus has birth defects that would not let it live outside of the womb. Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022, making abortion illegal in 13 states.
Claim: Many Americans believe that monkeypox only affects gay men and anyone who is not gay does not need to worry about the disease.
Rating: This claim is HALF TRUE. The World Health Organization says that a majority of the worldwide cases of monkeypox are caused by sexual contact between gay men. However, since monkeypox is spread through direct contact with infected lesions, non-sexual contact can spread the disease. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, anyone “who has been in close, personal contact with someone who has monkeypox is at risk.”
Claim: Many Democrats believe that the Texas abortion ban, which is one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, also criminalizes miscarriages.
Rating: This claim is MOSTLY TRUE. Though the Texas law also allows for abortion to save the life of the mother, many pharmacies and doctors are hesitant about treating miscarriages, because they are concerned about being charged with a crime. That is because the same drugs used to treat miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies are also used for abortions.
