Vivek Ramaswamy's new ad uses a prostate-cancer patient to defend his drug-company record.

At what may be his only debate, Rep. Pete Stauber called it 'an outright misrepresentation' that he'd described Minnesota as 'a failed state.'

At a Nixon Foundation summit on October 1, West Virginia Rep. Riley Moore said Nixon was 'absolutely couped out of office' and 'framed' in Watergate. Nixon's own Oval Office recording shows him plotting to use the CIA to stop the FBI's investigation — a tape the Supreme Court unanimously ordered him to hand over.
Rob Bresnahan's campaign ad claims he went to Washington and ended Northeastern Pennsylvania's 'rain tax.' The Scranton Times-Tribune called the ad 'misleading at best,' found claims in it false, and reported that it altered a local TV anchor's soundbite to put words in his mouth.
