Emerging story
On September 20, 2020, we published an article discussing the claim with a rating of "selective," since Senator Mitt Romney had still not declared and was thought by many to oppose an early Supreme Court vote for a new Justice.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar's investigation found that on September 22, 2020, Romney publicly stated he supports the early vote. The video of his statement is below.
Since this means that our rating of selective 4 is incorrect, this correction re-rates the claim as fake.
