The claim departs from the passage: the post never says 2026, and its 'Democratic convention in Chicago in August' refers to the 2024 convention, where sources show Harris was nominated after Biden withdrew. Sources place the Harris nomination in August 2024, not August 2026, so the added year cannot be graded as the poster's claim.

The Global Story · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. A 2026 Block Club report describes the Chicago convention as the most recent one, which culminated in Harris's nomination, and says Chicago is out of the running for the 2028 convention, so no August 2026 Chicago nominating convention is indicated.[2][3]
Context. Sources describe Harris accepting the Democratic presidential nomination at the Chicago convention in August 2024, after Biden dropped out and endorsed her.[1][4][5]
Context. The extracted claim adds the year 2026, which the post never states; the post's referent is the 2024 convention, so the claim departs from the passage.
