"CLAIM: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) appeared to deny that sweeping abortion legislation he signed in 2023 allows abortions in the ninth month of pregnancy."
"Verdict: False. Walz made Minnesota the first in the nation to codify abortion via legislative action after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Minnesota is now one of nine states, including Washington, DC, that has no restrictions on abortion, meaning abortion would technically be legal in the final month of pregnancy."

Fact Check: Walz Falsely Claims Trump Hasn't Paid Taxes in 15 Years (breitbart.com)"CLAIM: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said that “Donald Trump hasn’t paid any federal tax in the last 15 years.”
"VERDICT: FALSE. This recycles an old claim about Trump’s taxes that has long been debunked."
"Walz broke out a false claim at the vice presidential debate on CBS News on Tuesday night that Democrats made against Trump from 2015 to 2020, which is that he did not pay federal taxes. That is simply false.
Again and again — whether Rachel Maddow’s widely-mocked exposé on MSNBC in 2017, which showed that Trump had, in fact, paid significant taxes; or the New York Times‘ controversial report in 2020, which showed Trump had been telling the truth about disputes with the IRS — Democrats came up short in their attacks on Trump’s tax returns.""It is true that there were years when he only paid a nominal amount of federal tax — 10 out of 15 years, at one point in time, which may be the source for Walz’s false “15 years” claim — but Trump did pay more taxes in other years, and he did file tax returns. Trump simply did what other Americans do: find legal strategies to reduce his taxable income." FULL STORY at above link.
"CLAIM: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) repeated a false claim that Trump wants a pregnancy monitor, or “register.”
