President Joe Biden was more consistently factual in his first month in office than his predecessorever was in office. But Biden was not perfect himself.
Biden was not remotely comparable to former President Donald Trump in either the quantity of his false claims or in the magnitude. He did, however, make some inaccurate comments, mostly when ad-libbing. For example, Biden made at least six false claims at a CNN town hall event last week. (CNN wrote about four of them in our initial fact check article.)

U.S. House Democrats are trying again to entice holdout states, including Wisconsin, to expand Medicaid coverage with the prospect of billions of dollars in federal cash. This money would be on top of the already large net benefits the state would realize under existing law through expansion.
Wisconsin is one of just a dozen states that has held back on expanding Medicaid coverage, also known as BadgerCare, leaving a huge source of federal funding on the table that could provide coverage for additional Wisconsinites.
