Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have been hitting the road to drum up support among voters across the country — especially in the half-dozen or so battleground states that will likely decide the outcome of the election.

But their speaking styles differ, including when it comes to telling the truth.

The New York Times dived into a month’s worth of rally speeches from the two candidates and found “Mr. Trump’s improvisational style and penchant for exaggeration lead to more falsehoods than Ms. Harris’s more controlled approach.”

“Harris’s repeated stump speech contains few factual errors, while Trump’s rallies are a font of exaggerations to outright lies.”

A few examples from both:

  • “Mr. Trump claimed, with no evidence, that Venezuela had “dumped” huge numbers of criminals and prisoners into the United States, leading to a drastic decrease in its crime rate during the Biden-Harris administration. … There is no evidence for any of those figures. Venezuela does not release comprehensive crime information, and a Caracas-based research organization has reported a falling murder rate during both administrations, though it fell faster while Mr. Trump was in office.
  • “Ms. Harris claimed in multiple rallies in August that Mr. Trump ‘intends’ to repeal the Affordable Care Act and ‘take us back to a time when insurance companies have the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions.’ While Mr. Trump promised to repeal the health care law during his campaign in 2016, his statements this campaign have been more ambiguous, and he has promised to retain protections for patients with pre-existing conditions.”

Harris and Trump were in swing states this week as they hope to win, both of them trying to expand their narrow paths to victory in a closely fought presidential campaign.

Harris had her sights set on North Carolina, where she held rallies in Charlotte and Greensboro on Thursday.

Trump was in Tucson, Arizona, as he looked to stabilize his campaign, which continues to struggle to recalibrate nearly two months after Harris replaced Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket.
