  • What they have said, checked 3 entries Three of the eight rows in the research archive's fact-check table are published. Five are left out: four because the archive states the claim in its own words rather than hers, and one because it is a claim made about her by anonymous social-media accounts rather than by a speaker with a record here.

  1. vote August 7, 2022

    Cast the deciding vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped insulin at $35 a month for people on Medicare and capped out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,000 a year. She cast 33 tie-breaking votes in the Senate, the most of any vice president.

    Sources: ballotpedia.org · ballotpedia.org

  2. action March 24, 2021

    As vice president she was assigned the diplomatic effort on the root causes of migration from Central America, including a 2021 agreement that helped bring about $4 billion in pledged private investment to the Northern Triangle. An NBC News investigation found the initiative's public-facing activity largely stopped within months and that she had not visited the southern border or those countries since January 2022. Fact-checkers at Time and PBS note her assignment did not cover border enforcement.

    Sources: time.com · nbcnews.com

  3. action 2014

  5. action 2010

    As district attorney and later attorney general she backed a 2010 California truancy law allowing criminal charges against the parents of chronically truant children. Critics said it fell hardest on low-income and minority families, and she later said she regretted its unintended consequences.
