RNC 2024 Day 1: Key Moments and Fact-Checks

CBS News fact-checked several statements made during the first day of the 2024 Republican National Convention, focusing on economic claims. Key findings include: Sen. Katie Britt's claim that Trump had the best economy ever is false; Gov. Glenn Youngkin's statements about record low unemployment for women and minorities under Trump are partially true but need context; Youngkin's comparison of economic growth and inflation under Trump and Biden is misleading; Sen. Marsha Blackburn's assertion about Biden letting Trump's tax cuts expire leading to the biggest tax increase is misleading; and Blackburn's claim that Biden hired 85,000 IRS agents to harass Americans is false.
