Donald Trump and other Republicans have said repeatedly that she does. Her history on the issue is complicated.<\/p>\n

One of former president Donald J. Trump\u2019s final television ads before Election Day reprises an old talking point.<\/p>\n

The segment, released Oct. 17<\/a>, declares that Vice President Kamala Harris \u201cwants struggling seniors to pay more Social Security taxes while she gives Medicare and Social Security to illegals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first half of the statement is inaccurate. Ms. Harris has not suggested raising Social Security taxes for seniors; instead, she has said she supports eliminating the $168,000 income cap on the taxes workers pay to fund Social Security, a threshold above which income becomes exempt. Under that proposal, Social Security taxes would increase for working people who earn almost three times median annual pay, not for struggling seniors.<\/p>\n

The latter half of the ad\u2019s claim \u2014 that Ms. Harris supports giving taxpayer-funded health benefits to illegal immigrants \u2014 is a misrepresentation of Ms. Harris\u2019s current proposals. Ms. Harris made statements in 2019 that could be understood this way, but she has stepped back from that position in recent months as her health care platform has become clearer. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr. Trump has also misstated the Biden administration\u2019s policy. Here is a look at what that is and what Ms. Harris has said about the issue.<\/p>\n
