Claim: Trump would end the Affordable Care Act
Harris stated at the rally, “If Donald Trump wins in November, he intends to end the Affordable Care Act and take us back to a time when insurance companies have the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions.”

Former President Donald Trump indeed threatened to reopen the fight over the Affordable Care Act if he won a second term.
Claim: The bipartisan border security bill failed because of Trump
“Earlier this year we had a chance to pass the toughest bipartisan border security bill in decades, but Donald Trump tanked the deal,” Harris claimed.
The Answer:
