Donald Trump: FactCheck: Yes, record number of women in Congress

NPR: Trump praised the record number of women in Congress, but that's almost entirely because of Democrats, not Trump's party."

Social media strategist Caleb Hull pointed out that Trump "never claimed his party was responsible" for the increase in women in Congress.

OnTheIssues FactCheck: So who's right? Here's what Trump actually said: "We have more women in the workforce than ever before--and exactly one century after the Congress passed the Constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote, we also have more women serving in the Congress than ever before." Trump never claimed credit for himself nor for the Republican Party for the record number of women in Congress. Fox News is correct; NPR is incorrect. Trustworthy fact-check sources, such as OnTheIssues, always refer back to the original speech!

Joe Biden: FactCheck: Claims he supported busing; record says otherwise

Narrowly speaking, Biden may have voted against an amendment here or there. Biden's record of voting and pushing for anti-busing measures goes back to when he first took office as a Senator in 1973. As historian Jason Sokol noted in a 2015 article for Politico, Biden told the Senate in 1975 that he was "convinced that busing is a bankrupt concept." Busing, according to Biden, "implied that blacks have no reason to be proud of their inheritance and their own culture."
