President Joe Biden made several false or misleading claims during a speech about the September jobs report. He falsely claimed to have cut the federal debt, credited a tax policy that hasn't taken effect yet for improving the budget situation, and misleadingly stated that he has presided over an "actual surplus." Additionally, Biden used outdated figures to boast about record-low unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanics, and people with disabilities, ignoring the fact that these rates have since increased and are now higher than during parts of the Trump administration. Fact-checkers have debunked these claims, highlighting the inaccuracies and lack of context in Biden's statements.
