Fact Check: Tim Walz Repeats Lie about Trump Creating ‘Monitor’ for Pregnancies

CLAIM: “Trump is trying to create this new government entity that will monitor all pregnancies to enforce their abortion bans.”

VERDICT: FALSE. This is a lie that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz repeat despite numerous fact checks.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, speaking at a rally in Asheville, North Carolina, on Tuesday, repeated a claim that Vice President Kamala Harris made at the Democratic National Convention and again at the presidential debate that former President Donald Trump wants to create a “monitor” or “coordinator” for pregnancies to enforce abortion bans.
