The article covers a CNN fact check (reported by Daniel Dale and syndicated across MSN and regional outlets) examining statements made by Donald Trump, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and other Republican speakers during the second night of the Republican midterm convention.The key claims examined in the report include:1. RFK Jr. on the 2024 Democratic Nomination and Convention

• The Claim: Kennedy claimed that Democrats “cancelled their own convention” in 2024 and simply “anointed” Kamala Harris without consulting delegates or holding a process.
• The Facts: The claim is false. The Democratic National Convention was held as a four-day in-person event in Chicago in August 2024. While Harris was the only candidate on the roll-call ballot, that occurred because she met the party’s rules by securing the required threshold of delegate signatures after Joe Biden exited the race.

2. Foreign Policy and “Ending 8 Wars”

• The Claim: Speakers highlighted a recurring claim that Donald Trump ended eight wars during his administration.
• The Facts: Several of the situations cited were not actual wars during his tenure (such as diplomatic tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia or between Serbia and Kosovo). Additionally, other conflicts referenced have either not fully ceased (such as hostilities involving Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, or ongoing fighting between Israel and Hamas despite ceasefire efforts) or saw resumed conflict.

3. Missing Migrant Children

• The Claim: Speakers repeated rhetoric suggesting that hundreds of thousands of migrant children (often cited around 300,000 or 320,000) went “missing” under the previous administration.
• The Facts: Fact-checkers noted this distorts a Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report. The actual finding was that approximately 32,000 unaccompanied minors failed to appear for scheduled immigration court dates over a multi-year period, not that hundreds of thousands had vanished.

4. Inflation and Economic Records

• The Claim: Figures at the convention claimed inflation reached an all-time record high under the Biden administration.
• The Facts: While year-over-year inflation peaked at 9.1% in June 2022a 40-year highit was not an all-time record in U.S. history, and the rate had cooled substantially later in the term.

5. Noncitizen Voting

• The Claim: Claims were made suggesting Democrats are pushing to allow undocumented immigrants to vote in upcoming federal and midterm elections.
• The Facts: Federal law strictly prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections, and there is no legislation or proposal put forward by congressional Democrats to permit noncitizens to vote in federal contests.

6. Taxes on Social Security

• The Claim: Remarks suggested that federal taxes on Social Security benefits had been completely eliminated for all recipients.
• The Facts: Legislation enacted an additional, temporary deduction for individuals aged 65 and older that phases out at higher income levels. While the Social Security Administration estimated it relieves federal income taxes on benefits for a large majority of recipients, it does not fully eliminate them across the board for all beneficiaries.
