New duo of Trump ads target Biden on taxes.
In closing, the small business owner says what the Trump campaign has been hoping will hold true in polling: that she trusts Mr. Trump to rebuild the economy.
Fact Check
Mr. Biden will not raise taxes across the board. Rather, he is proposing raising taxes on people earning more than $400,000 to help finance much of his agenda for recovering from the coronavirus pandemic.
The ad also begins with an allusion to “the economy that we’ve been enjoying,” but the current economic status of the country is in shambles because of the coronavirus pandemic, with unemployment at 8.4 percent.
And while the economy before the coronavirus was indeed strong, with low unemployment and a soaring stock market, it’s not wholly accurate to proclaim it was “the best it had ever been,” as the video claims. Income inequality continued to grow, and while average hourly wage growth improved, it was not as strong as in decades past. The employment cost index, while also improved, was not the highest ever.
Where It’s Running
North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania and two states that split electoral votes by congressional district: Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District and Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.
