Fact-checking Pres. Trump's speech to Congress
Briefly

In his address six weeks into his presidency, Donald Trump presented his goals for the future. Simultaneously, ABC News and PolitiFact provided live fact-checks of his statements. Notably, Trump claimed that Joe Biden was to blame for rising egg prices. However, while egg prices did rise during Biden's tenure, they were also affected by bird flu impacting bird populations. Additionally, Trump declared he had won a mandate in the election, but historical analysis shows his victory was not as overwhelming compared to previous presidents, despite winning key battleground states.
Trump's victory was clear, but by historical standards, it was no landslide. Trump's win of both the Electoral College and the popular vote was significant.
While egg prices moderated during Biden's presidency, they surged again recently due to bird flu, contradicting Trump's claim of Biden's sole responsibility for the inflation.
