Fact-checking Donald Trump's claims about VP Kamala Harris at Charlotte, N.C., rally

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Harris backed Medicare for All when she was preparing to run in the 2020 presidential primaries and many candidates believed that Democratic base voters wanted the most liberal positions possible.
53% : And does that solution involve cutting insurance companies as we know them out of the equation?"Harris: "I believe the solution -- and I actually feel very strongly about this -- is that we need to have Medicare for All.
45% : In her 2019 campaign launch speech, Harris said, "I am running to declare, once and for all, that health care is a fundamental right, and we will deliver that right with Medicare for All!"However, Medicare for All failed to gain steam with other Democrats; it has never advanced to a vote in the Senate.
44% : The first part of Trump's statement is close to accurate: The Medicare for All bill Harris backed in 2019 would eliminate private health insurance except as supplemental coverage beyond what the government-funded plan would cover.
43% : "Harris' previous support for Medicare for All with a private insurance option is suggestive of her values, but I doubt it will be a big emphasis for her in the current campaign," Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at KFF, a health policy research organization, told the Hill July 22.
31% : After her 2020 candidacy ended, Harris focused instead on bolstering the ACA as opposed to pushing for Medicare for All.
6% : If she ever gets the chance to get into office," Trump said July 24 in Charlotte, N.C.Trump criticized Harris' positions on multiple policy topics, including immigration, health care and abortion.
