Claim: Nikki Haley “says the retirement age at 65 is way too low, it must be much higher.” (Donald Trump, 2024-01-06)
Evidence (2024-01-10): That means "shooting yourself in the foot every other day," he quickly explained, drawing an eye roll from Haley. The joke was a nod to Haley’s recent campaign trail gaffes, among them her omission of slavery when a voter asked her about the causes of the Civil War. DeSantis campaign ally Rep. Thomas Massie used the term on the social media platform X last week after Haley said in an interview that you "change personalities" going from Iowa to New Hampshire. "We called this ballistic podiatry at MIT," the GOP Kentucky congressman wrote. Raising the retirement age? Haley supports it, DeSantis doesn’t DeSantis and Haley are disagreeing over whether to raise the retirement age. Haley supports raising the retirement age and has said that the current age of 65 is too low. DeSantis on Wednesday night referenced his grandmother, who lived to be 91 and whose sole source of income was Social Security. He cited declining life expectancy in the United States as a reason he wouldn’t support raising the age. Haley said DeSantis voted as a congressman to raise the retirement age to 70. She says, "You can’t trust him."
Claim: Nikki Haley “says the retirement age at 65 is way too low, it must be much higher.” (Donald Trump, 2024-01-06)
Evidence (2023-08-25): - Nikki Haley, a Republican presidential candidate, said she wants to up the full retirement age. [...] GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley said she thinks the US' retirement age is "way too low" and needs to be increased. [...] Asked by Joe Mathieu what is the "right age" she'd propose, Haley didn't have an exact answer but said that "65 is way too low" and needs to be increased in relation to the average US lifespan. While she mentioned 65 as too low, Congress upped the full retirement age in 1983 to 67 years old for anyone born in 1960 or later.
Claim: Nikki Haley “says the retirement age at 65 is way too low, it must be much higher.” (Donald Trump, 2024-01-06)
Evidence (2023-08-24): In an appearance on Bloomberg Television this morning, Haley again blamed Republicans for "spending like drunken sailors and raising the debt limit." She called for increasing the Social Security retirement age for people coming into the system, calling age 65 "way too low" without specifying a new number. (The age for full retirement benefits is now 67 for people born in 1960 or later.)

Claim: Nikki Haley “says the retirement age at 65 is way too low, it must be much higher.” (Donald Trump, 2024-01-06)
Evidence (2024-01-10): Nikki Haley thinks the retirement age is "way too low" – but she won't say what it should be. With life expectancy decreasing, her call to raise the retirement age makes no sense. - In a 2023 interview with Bloomberg News, Haley asserted that the retirement age of 65 is "way too low." Haley also proposed "instead of cost of living increases, we do it based on inflation". The interviewer repeatedly asked Haley "what is the right age", in her view, for retirement. Haley refused to give a straight answer, suggesting that she had not thought it through. - Haley on the retirement age: "Well, I think we have to do the numbers. We've gotta figure out what it is. But what we do know is 65 is way too low. And we need to increase that. We need to do it according to life expectancy."
Claim: Nikki Haley “says the retirement age at 65 is way too low, it must be much higher.” (Donald Trump, 2024-01-06)
Evidence (2024-09-26): Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is once again advocating for raises to the full retirement age (FRA), in what she says is an effort to recover Social Security and Medicare insolvency and prevent rising debt. [...] When asked for specifics, Haley defined age 65 as "way too low" to be considered a full retirement age and said it would need to be raised to correlate with the average U.S. lifespan. She did not have an exact retirement age figure to share. [...] Haley, who is currently placing fifth among Republican primary voters, previously called for lifting the retirement age and expanding Medicare Advantage during an Iowa town hall meeting in March.
Claim: Nikki Haley “says the retirement age at 65 is way too low, it must be much higher.” (Donald Trump, 2024-01-06)
Evidence (2024-08-22): "We’re going to be responsible with it and we’re going to go to those in our 20s. When I said the retirement age was too low… I said it’s too low for those in their 20s. We have to go and start looking at what we can do to get out of this. We want to make sure that everybody who was promised gets it, but we also want to make sure our kids have something when they get it, too." Further pressed about whether voters in their 20s should plan on having to work until 70 before being eligible for full Social Security benefits, Haley added: "They should plan on their retirement age being increased, yes. We’re going to change it to reflect more of what life expectancy should be."

Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2021-03-03): Federal law already requires citizenship to vote in elections and H.R. 1 would not change that policy. H.R. 1 says that the goal is to expand voter registration for eligible citizens. The legislation would step up the role of government agencies to forward individuals’ information for voter registration, but only citizens will be allowed to register.
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2021-03-04): Among many assertions that prompted swift criticism and fact-checking was Pence's claim that the bill would ensure "millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote": The bill would force states to adopt universal mail-in ballots, early voting, same-day voter registration, online voter registration, and automatic voter registration for any individual listed in state and federal government databases, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles and welfare offices, ensuring duplicate registrations and that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote. [...] In general, claims that "illegal immigrants" can vote in the U.S. elections in large discernable numbers are rarely, if ever, true. Nor is the claim that implementing the above measures would make it easier for such immigrants to vote, particularly when experts say such measures are intended to make registration easier and more accurate. As such, we rate Pence's claims on the whole as "False."

Evidence (2021-04-05): H.R. 1 would mean "that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." — Former Vice President Mike Pence [...] Says H.R. 1 gives immigrants illegally in the country the right to vote. — Instagram posts [...] H.R. 1 "automatically registers every welfare recipient to vote." — Former President Donald Trump
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2021-06-08): HR 1 is an ambitious proposal that would transform many aspects of elections and campaigns across the country, including how they’re financed. Written in 2017, when Democrats were out of power, it was then referred to as a messaging bill — a proposal for candidates to tout on the campaign trail and not crafted specifically to garner enough votes to pass into law at that time. [...] HR 1’s number shows its importance to Democrats. Also known as the For the People Act, it became HR 1 because it was the first bill on the House floor after Democrats retook the chamber in the 2018 election. (The Senate version is known as S 1.) [...] HR 1 could neutralize some of these laws because it creates national standards for voting access. For example, new laws in Arizona and Florida that potentially remove from people from the states’ mail voting lists could be moot, because all voters would have a right to cast ballots by mail.
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2021-03-04): The House of Representatives passed a sweeping set of voting rights measures known as H.R. 1 or the "For the People Act." The bill includes measures like automatic registration for eligible voters, the elimination of voter identification requirements and the redrawing of district lines. But voting rights are on the docket in local governments, too — including in Georgia. [...] What does H.R. 1 mean for the future of voting in the U.S.? And what are its chances of making it to President Joe Biden's desk?
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2023-01-10): So let's start with Division A, voting. Here are just a few, and we can't begin to cover everything in this Act, but here are some of the highlights of H.R.1 or S.1. First, on voter registration, S.1 mandates email and internet registration up to seven days before the election. Applications submitted must be accepted by the states if they are "substantially complete." It then requires most federal and state government agencies to register a voter any time the voter interacts with the agency. The voter will be registered unless the voter specifically and affirmatively declines to be registered. [...] Note that not much of this in the end is going to matter because H.R.1 then goes on to provide that states must allow same-day voter registration and election day correction to any person to any information that is already on the voter registration list. So, in other words, any person can show up on the polls on election day and announce, "I'm John Smith. I am eligible to vote," and be registered. And while such a statement has to be made under oath, officials are prohibited from asking for any form of identification, not just photo I.D., which has been a hot flash point in recent years, but any form of identification.
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2021-06-23): H.R. 1, the For the People Act, passed the House on March 3 on an almost entirely partisan basis. (The lone Democrat to vote against the bill was Rep. Bennie Thompson.) It seeks to expand access to voting and make major changes to campaign finance and redistricting laws. [...] H.R. 1 and Voter ID [...] As we have written, H.R. 1 wouldn’t ban state laws that ask voters to show identification at the polls. It would modify the effect of some of those laws, though.
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2021-02-03): HR 1, called the For the People Act, is a bill that folds together previous proposals for absentee voting, in-person voting, campaign finance and ethics. Democrats say the goal of the legislation is to make it easier for everyone to vote.

Evidence (2021-05-11): Ted Cruz repeats false claim that voting bill 'would register millions of illegal aliens to vote' [...] Cruz was not the first person to say this piece of legislation would expand voting access to immigrants who are in the country illegally. In March, as the House deliberated HR 1, former Vice President Mike Pence wrote in an opinion article that the bill would ensure that "millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." Similar rhetoric then spread through viral social media posts, which claim that the bill gives immigrants in the country illegally the "right to vote." [...] PolitiFact, Pence falsely says if HR 1 passes, millions of people in US illegally will be registered to vote, March 5, 2021
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2021-03-05): Known as the For the People Act, the 791-page H.R. 1 combines proposals for voter registration, absentee voting, in-person voting, campaign finance and ethics related to federal elections. The House passed the bill March 3 largely along party lines, with Democrats in favor Republicans opposed. It now goes to the Senate. [...] The bill does not permit voting by noncitizens in U.S. elections, whether they’re in the country legally or not. Pence was referring to a provision that would require automatic voter registration for people using services at government agencies. But that section says government agencies would pass along a person’s information for voter registration only if they are citizens. People would still be attesting that they are eligible to vote, with penalties for lying, and it would still be up to election officials to verify eligibility. The goal of the bill is to register eligible citizens. Pence’s warning that "millions" of ineligible noncitizens would be quickly added to the rolls is unsupported.

Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2024-09-01): The Freedom to Vote Act (formerly known as the For the People Act),[1] introduced as H.R. 1,[2] is a bill in the United States Congress[3] intended to expand voting rights, change campaign finance laws to reduce the influence of money in politics, ban partisan gerrymandering, and create new ethics rules for federal officeholders.[4][5][6][7] [...] During a May 2021 Senate Rules Committee hearing, Senator Ted Cruz falsely asserted that House Democrats had "designed" the Act such that it "directs" people "to break the law and register millions of people to vote who are not eligible to vote because they are not United States citizens" and "automatically registers to vote anyone who interacts with the government", regardless of their immigration status. The bill repeatedly states only U.S. citizens would be permitted to register.[90] [...] - ^ Dale, Daniel (May 13, 2021). "Fact check: Ted Cruz falsely claims Democrats' voting bill is intended to register millions of undocumented immigrants". CNN.
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2021-05-13): Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz claimed Tuesday that Democrats have intentionally "designed" their sweeping elections bill so that millions of undocumented immigrants would be registered to vote. Cruz said at a Senate Rules Committee meeting that the Democratic bill that proposes major changes to voting, campaign finance and government ethics rules, known as the For the People Act, "directs" people "to break the law and register millions of people to vote who are not eligible to vote because they are not United States citizens." Cruz said the bill "would register millions of illegal aliens to vote" – and he said "it is intended to do that" because Democrats think these immigrants are likely to vote for Democratic candidates. [...] Facts First: All of these Cruz claims are false. There is no basis for the claim that the bill is intended to register millions of undocumented immigrants to vote. The bill does propose an automatic voter registration system, but its text repeatedly makes clear that only US citizens would be eligible to be registered under the system. It is just not true that the bill would register anyone at all who interacts with the government or that the bill directs people to break the law to register noncitizens.
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2021-01-20): The For the People Act of 2021 (H.R. 1) passed the House of Representatives on March 3, 2021.footnote1_C7d3B7IeLEXhSZBNU7ykoczsjD6m6xZTzNasITRu7Gs_jChGJW6zqYSE1This guide currently reflects the version of the bill that passed the House of Representatives in March.The Senate version of the bill, which has been designated S. 1 and tracks closely to the House’s language, was introduced on March 17, 2021. A previous version of the bill passed the House of Representatives in the 116th Congress on March 8, 2019, by a vote of 234 to 193 (the previous Senate version, S. 949, was cosponsored by all 45 Senate Democrats and both Independents). Across 10 titles, this historic legislation would make it easier to vote in federal elections, end congressional gerrymandering, overhaul federal campaign finance laws, increase safeguards against foreign interference, strengthen government ethics rules, and more. Most of these reforms would be implemented for the November 2022 general election, with the exception of some redistricting and public financing changes that would go into effect later. [...] This section provides that any challenge to the constitutionality of any provision of H.R. 1 shall be filed in or transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. That court, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and the Supreme Court are tasked to expedite such litigation to the greatest possible extent. Any member of the House of Representatives or the Senate will have the right to intervene in any such case.
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2024-09-12): Johnson also later referenced Texas as a state where undocumented immigrants have tried to register to vote. [...] Critics argue it’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote and the risk of prosecution and deportation is an effective deterrent for people who have already sacrificed to come to the US. It’s already a best practice for states to check voter registrations against their Department of Motor Vehicles or Social Security files, and reviews of voter rolls have shown very few noncitizens try to vote. [...] CNN has also fact-checked claims of widespread voting by undocumented immigrants.
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2021-03-03): Pence falsely says if HR 1 passes, millions of people in US illegally will be registered to vote [...] In this fact-check, we wanted to review Pence’s statement that H.R. 1 would result in registering millions of immigrants who are in the country illegally or other ineligible noncitizens. (We rated his claim about "universal mail-in ballots" False.) [...] "Nothing in H.R. 1’s provisions results in undocumented immigrants being ‘quickly registered to vote,’" said Matthew Weil, an election expert at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
Claim: The voting bill known as H.R. 1 would mean “that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote." (Mike Pence, 2021-03-03)
Evidence (2024-08-26): Governor Greg Abbott today announced that since signing Senate Bill 1 into law in 2021, Texas has removed over one million people from the state’s voter rolls, including people who moved out-of-state, are deceased, and are noncitizens. That removal process has been, and will continue to be, ongoing. [...] Of the over 6,500 potential noncitizens removed from the voter rolls, approximately 1,930 have a voter history. The Secretary of State’s office is in the process of sending all 1,930 records to the Attorney General’s Office for investigation and potential legal action. To better crackdown on illegal voting, Governor Abbott signed House Bill 1243 into law last year, increasing the penalty for illegal voting, including voting by noncitizens, to a second-degree felony. In 2021, Governor Abbott signed Senate Bill 1, Senate Bill 1113, and House Bill 574 into law. Senate Bill 1 elevated lying while registering to vote to a state jail felony, criminalized ballot harvesting, required the Secretary of State to conduct randomized audits of elections every two years, banned distribution of unsolicited mail-in ballot applications and ballots, and required ID for mail-in ballots. Senate Bill 1113 empowered the Secretary of State to withhold funds from counties that fail to remove noncitizens from their voter roll. House Bill 574 made it a second-degree felony to knowingly count invalid votes or refuse to count valid votes.

Evidence (2021-03-03): Congress will vote this week on HR 1, the so-called For the People Act, a massive 800-page election overhaul bill that would increase opportunities for election fraud, trample the First Amendment, further erode confidence in our elections, and forever dilute the votes of legally qualified eligible voters. [...] The bill would force states to adopt universal mail-in ballots, early voting, same-day voter registration, online voter registration, and automatic voter registration for any individual listed in state and federal government databases, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles and welfare offices, ensuring duplicate registrations and that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote. [...] HR 1 is an unconstitutional, reckless, and anti-democratic bill that would erode those foundational principles and could permanently damage our republic.
