FACT FOCUS: Here's a look at some of the false claims made during Biden and Trump's first debate
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have met for their first debate of the 2024 season, and there was no shortage of false claims. The Associated Press examined their statements during the 90-minute debate Thursday night. Trump once again falsely asserted that the U.S. had the greatest economy in history during his presidency and spread misleading claims about Jan. 6, migrant crime and the environment. Biden also had some misfires. For example, he overstated it when he asserted that Trump encouraged people to drink bleach to address COVID-19.
