Fact-checking Joe Biden at the 2020 Democratic National Convention

Associated Press  

In a near-empty arena on the river in his hometown, Joe Biden accepted the Democratic nomination for president, promising hope over fear, fairness over privilege, love over hate. “The assault on the Affordable Care Act will continue until it’s destroyed, taking insurance away from 20 million people, including more than 15 million people on Medicaid. Additionally, an Urban Institute estimate matches Biden’s 15 million figure regarding how many people would lose Medicaid coverage if the ACA were struck down. Says Trump’s tax cuts were a "$1.3 trillion tax giveaway to the wealthiest 1% and the biggest, most profitable corporations, some of which do not pay any tax at all.” The Republican tax bill signed by Trump tilted towards wealthier taxpayers and benefited corporations, but Biden glosses over the extent to which Americans of more modest means received cuts as well. He said there were ‘very fine people on both sides’.” Trump said “very fine people on both sides” after a reporter mentioned neo-Nazis.
