Fact-Checks of Key Claims:
Harris Claim: “16 Nobel laureates say Trump’s plan would increase inflation and land us in a recession.”
- Fact-Check: Mostly True
Harris correctly referenced the concerns of 16 Nobel laureates regarding Trump’s economic plans. The economists warned that Trump could reignite inflation and noted that Harris’ agenda was “vastly superior” to Trump’s. However, their letter did not specifically predict a recession by mid-2025. Instead, they warned that a second Trump term could negatively impact the U.S.’s economic standing and destabilize the domestic economy.
