Biden then pivoted to a claim that has been fact-checked by factcheck.org as misleading. He has previously claimed, President Trump’s effort in court to nullify the Affordable Care Act would “take 100 million people with preexisting conditions and move them in a direction where they can’t get coverage.”
Today he claimed it would be over 100 million people. He insisted that the president would “rip away health insurance.” We previously reported that Democrat leaders had decided that preservation of the Affordable Care Act as it has been a battle cry of Biden’s presidential campaign ever since.
Fox News transcribed the interaction between Biden and the KTNV reporter who asked him about whether he backs court packing:
“This is the number one thing that I’ve been asked about from viewers in the past couple of days.”
“Well you’ve been asked by the viewers who are probably Republicans who don’t want me continuing to talk about what they’re doing to the court right now,” Biden responded
“Well, sir don’t the voters deserve to know…?” reporter Ross DiMattei asked.
“No they don’t…. I’m not gonna play his game, he’d love me to talk about, and I’ve already said something on court packing, he’d love that to be the discussion instead of what he’s doing now,” Biden said, likely referring to President Trump.
“He’s about to make a pick in the middle of an election, first time it’s ever been done, first time in history it’s ever been done,” he said.
