    ২০২৪ সালের ট্রাম্প-হ্যারিস বিতর্কে হ্যারিস বলেছিলেন যে তাঁর এবং বাইডেনের মধ্যে কোনো পার্থক্য নেই।

    বিতর্কের আনুষ্ঠানিক প্রতিলিপিতে হ্যারিস নিজেকে বাইডেন থেকে আলাদা করেছেন এবং বলেছেন, “I am not Joe Biden.” তাই তিনি কোনো পার্থক্য নেই বলেছিলেন—এই দাবি বিপরীত।

  8. For roughly 90% of people, the vote is already decided and political advertisements do not matter.

    Most voters do decide relatively early, but the 90% figure is not supported by the cited election evidence, and “it doesn't matter what ads they see” is too absolute. Survey evidence shows that advertisements can influence perceptions and are considered helpful by a minority of voters.

    Texas has not yet become politically blue at the statewide presidential level.

    Texas awarded all 40 of its 2024 electoral votes to Donald Trump, so the state had not turned Democratic at the statewide presidential level. The statement does not claim that Texas has not become more competitive or that every part of the state is Republican.

    Harris campaigned more with Liz Cheney than with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

    Reliable reporting confirms that Harris campaigned alongside Cheney and that Ocasio-Cortez conducted campaign outreach for Harris, but the transcript gives no metric or complete event count for comparing them. The comparative claim therefore cannot be verified as stated.

    Talarico’s campaign was spending in Black communities, using Black radio and television, and employing Black political and communications professionals.

    The campaign announced Black-owned communications firms for television, digital, radio and print advertising, along with senior advisers and outreach in Black neighborhoods, churches, community organizations and HBCUs. These facts support the substance of the claim.

    The speaker’s campaign obtained the lowest unit advertising rate and had been running its effort longer than others.

    Federal law defines a lowest unit charge for qualifying political advertising, but the transcript does not identify the station, market, comparison group, or records needed to determine whether this campaign actually received that rate or had been advertising longer than others.

    The campaign had been continuously on the air for eight weeks while presenting its own narrative.

    Contemporary reporting confirms that James Talarico was the only candidate with television ads airing in Texas at one point and that his campaign had spent heavily on advertising, but the available evidence does not establish the specific eight-week duration or uninterrupted, exclusive status asserted here.

    A poll put Zohran Mamdani at approximately 71% in New York City.

  34. In the Los Angeles mayoral primary, Spencer Pratt initially held second place and Nithya Raman overtook him.

    The Los Angeles Times reported that Raman surged past Pratt after initially trailing him on election night, moving into second place while Pratt fell to third.

  35. The evidence showed that homeless people’s addresses were used so mail-in ballots could be sent to them and used.

    The Justice Department said some registrations used a former address and that ballots could have been sent there. However, the available reporting says there was no evidence that these ballots were actually used in the mayoral election, and the underlying scheme involved petition signatures and voter registration rather than proven ballot casting.

    Video Joe Rogan Experience #2526 - JD Vance Published July 2026

  36. As additional mail-in ballots were counted, Nithya Raman improved relative to Spencer Pratt and overtook him for second place, eliminating Pratt from the runoff.

    Raman initially trailed Pratt but passed him as mail-in ballots were counted, and the final primary result placed Raman second and Pratt third. Because only the top two advanced, Pratt did not qualify for the runoff.

    Video Joe Rogan Experience #2526 - JD Vance Published July 2026

  37. The change in the mail-ballot count was deliberately designed to remove Spencer Pratt and place Nithya Raman in second.

    The excerpt alleges intentional manipulation, but the cited evidence establishes only that Raman gained as later ballots were counted. Election analysts described the pattern as consistent with normal differences between election-day and mail voting, and no reliable source identified evidence that vote shares were deliberately designed.

    Video Joe Rogan Experience #2526 - JD Vance Published July 2026

  38. Mail-in voting became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Mail voting expanded dramatically during the pandemic, but official data put its share at 43.1% of the 2020 electorate. Calling it “ubiquitous” overstates the extent of its use.

  39. The Iowa State Fair is one of the main campaign stops for people running for president.

    Reliable accounts describe the Iowa State Fair as a major or traditional stop for presidential candidates seeking to meet Iowa voters. The wording is informal, but its substantive assertion is accurate.

    Video Joe Rogan Experience #2526 - JD Vance Published July 2026

  40. During the 2016 campaign, an unnamed candidate at the Iowa State Fair was given a corn dog, ate it, and thereby became the subject of a major news cycle for a long time.

    The claim does not identify the candidate, the date within the 2016 campaign, or what qualifies as a “major news cycle.” Sources confirm that corn-dog photo opportunities were a recurring Iowa campaign phenomenon, but they do not establish this specific event as stated.
