Mixed60% confidence6 sourcesOct 23, 2026Democrats voted against legislation to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits.The claim is extracted from Trump-related rhetoric that Democrats voted against 'No Tax on Social Security.' Sources show Democrats opposed the broader 2025 tax law (OBBBA/Working Families Tax Cuts Act) that included a Social Security deduction, and Mike Johnson's tally says 212 Democrats opposed the 'No Tax on Social Security' provision, which supports the literal claim; however, FactCheck.org reports Democratic opposition stemmed mainly from the law's skewed benefits to the wealthy and Medicaid cuts rather than these provisions, and PolitiFact notes the Social Security break is a deduction that expires in 2028, not outright elimination of taxes on benefits.Mixed60% confidence7 sourcesOct 23, 2026Democratic members of Congress voted against legislation to double the Child Tax Credit.Sources support that no Democrats in Congress voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included child tax credit provisions, but FactCheck.org contradicts the claim that the law doubled the credit: it raised the maximum from $2,000 to $2,200 per child, while the doubling came from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The passage's 'doubling' framing comes from the claimant's own words and the partisan sources that repeat it.
