Private Yacht Charter Updates & Safety Information

We are excited to get back to cruising and helping you plan an unforgettable private event on the water in Miami! As we resume rentals for all luxury vessels, please know that the health and well-being of our guests and crew members is our number one priority. We are closely monitoring the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as our local health departments and authorities on the best practices while operating. Our ample yachts feature multiple decks with indoor and outdoor spaces. We will continue to assess, refine, and update our standards to keep you safe as new information is available.

COVID-19 Safety Measures

Social distancing.

• Per current guidelines, our 60” round tables will be set six feet apart for six guests, as opposed to our previous ten, which will offer ample room and additional space between guests.
• Our flow-through dining arrangement will allow us to control the number of guests in the dining area at any one time, as well as the flow to stations, which will limit lines and guest contact.

Employee Requirements

• All employees are required to do a self-check prior to the start of their shift. All staff uniforms will adhere to CDC guidelines. This will include masks constantly and gloves while handling food that will be disinfected/changed for every event.

Cleaning & Sanitation

• We will be providing hand sanitizing stations throughout the vessel, at boarding on the dock, on every deck, as well as near food and beverage areas.
• We will have a specialized team thoroughly clean and disinfect key surfaces and areas before and after each event, with two hours specifically designated to ensure that this task is prioritized.
• To maintain cleanliness throughout the event, cleaning specialists will be tasked with ongoing cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch and common areas, which include but are not limited to handrails, backs of chairs, doorknobs, bars, counters, high tops, low cocktail tables, coffee tables, bathroom sinks, toilet handles, etc. These tasks will be completed per the CDC and Miami-Dade County guidelines.
• Our bathrooms feature ample individual stalls. These areas will fall into our 30-minute cleaning guidelines and will be maintained and serviced by our cleaning specialists. Bathrooms are equipped with disinfectant soap, hand sanitizers, and disposable hand towels.

Serving Procedures

• Glassware, flatware, and tableware will be washed, disinfected, and steam cleaned before and throughout the event. Rolled up flatware and water glasses will be provided for each guest and presented individually at each place setting.
• Welcome drinks are freshly poured upon boarding in sanitized glassware. To curb the need for congregating at the bar or making long lines, our staff will be providing cocktail service to all guests, as well as handing out welcome drinks.
• All food and drinks will be handled, presented, and served to guests to minimize cross-contamination. Butler-passed hors d’oeuvres will no longer be passed. Instead they will be arranged as a station. All platters and food stations will be staffed with an attendant behind plexiglass who will be responsible for personally serving each guest.
• Our new and improved buffet techniques will feature plexiglass to protect the food while guests are served by a gloved attendant. Tables will be called one at a time to prevent crowding. Our existing procedures will ensure that our buffet is staffed to serve guests individually and erase the need for self-service. This measure will prevent serving utensils from coming into contact with any guests.
• Our bread, salad, coffee, and dessert will be served tableside, eliminating the need for self-service. Salt, pepper, and condiments will be individually packaged for each guest.
• If additional steps are required, we are happy to provide them as requested.

Biscayne lady testimonials.

Everyone at the Biscayne Lady created such a beautiful and memorable experience for us and our guests who keep saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I truly agree with that statement. How can you beat the Miami skyline view from the water with amazing food and service?

The sales person and event coordinator with whom I worked were extremely professional and responsive. Nothing I requested was too much to ask. Once aboard, the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. The boat itself is lovely and beautifully clean, with plenty of available options regarding seating and layout. Every single person on my team loved the experience and already requested a repeat event. I could go on and on, but all I’ll say is thank you, Biscayne Lady, for an unforgettable experience.

Every single request and need were met with outstanding service. Their menu options are excellent as was the food/chef. The Yacht staff were all incredible as well. We could not have been more pleased and do not hesitate to recommend them if you’re considering an event of any kind! Our wedding was truly magical and will be forever remembered!!

We had a rehearsal dinner aboard the Venetian Lady. Our guests were delighted, and the crew couldn’t have been more professional and fun. The food was delicious. Beautiful evening and this will be one of our fondest memories. Biscayne Lady staff were so patient with me and always had time for me when I had a question. Thanks again for making our evening unforgettable.

We choose the Venetian Lady yacht as our wedding venue and it was the best decision we could have made! I can go on and on but I’m just going to say that when I got to the Venetian Lady the day of my wedding it was a dream come true.  If I had to do it all over again I would do it the exact same! I can’t thank the Venetian Lady’s staff enough! Thank you so much!

Thank you Biscayne Lady Yacht Charters for making our Luncheon Cruise Event a great success; one that all of our attendees truly enjoyed in every way. The yacht’s entire crew all were professional and responsive, and the lunch was excellent!  Everyone I spoke with at the event were very positive about the Luncheon Cruise. It was a truly great event.

I just received word that the Event last night was superb.  My CEO was absolutely thrilled, and our client even more so.  Thank you Morgan, and Jenny for helping through all of this to make the trip spectacular.  You both were true professionals and so very helpful.  Morgan, the fact that you took my call all the way from Oklahoma showed how dedicated you are to your work.

I cannot thank you two enough.  I can tell you that you have clients for life!  We will pass on the services to others as well.

Kind regards, ?

I have never worked with such a professional group of people in my years of planning. Every detail was met from the first phone call to the last. The food is being talked about from Chicago, Detroit, Louisiana, Atlanta & even Alabama! The music was great and we danced all night long! Biscayne Lady is the ride of your life!

VP Consulting

We had a WONDERFUL event on the Biscayne Lady and we were so happy with the service, the food, and everything that the boat had to offer. It was such a pleasure working with you and your team to make this event a success for my client. Thank you again and I hope we get to work together again in the future!

Nirali Shah Events

Dear Melina. It was great. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much that they are wanting to do it again next year. The food was above this World and I had great compliment. The entertainment was also excellent. Everyone had a lot of fun so thank you again for such a great experience!

Sustainable yachting tips

If you’re looking to explore our beautiful planet, a yacht charter is a great place to start. Explore coral reefs with your snorkel, discover hidden bays and islands and generally enjoy the view of nature. Remember, that sailing motto:  'Take only photos, leave only wake'  (OK, so we paraphrased). To be a responsible sailor, remember:

• Don’t disturb coral or sealife
• Take your trash home (and don’t throw anything in the sea)
• Respect the locals and their customs wherever you go

South Beach's Favorite Party Boat Experience

"There were 9 of us that booked Southbeach Party Boats and we had such a blast! Captain Ryan was a ton of fun! Bobby did a nice job at service recovery!! They take you around the bay and then dock at a nearby island where you can swim, drink, dance , tan and eat food! They grilled some burgers and hot dogs that were delicious!! They provide wine and beer! The plus was that you can bring your own booze on Board!! I am definitely coming back to this booze cruise when I return to South Beach!!"

"South Beach Party Boats is the way to go if you are looking for a SUPER fun experience. They played the music we wanted, had all the beer, wine and water we could ask for, they even had a beer opener! These people were prepared and you could tell they just want everyone to be happy and have a good time. Also, it was a GORGEOUS boat ride and loved seeing different parts of Miami. Even the party bus was awesome and picked us up right on time! Seriously I dont have any complaints."

"We were the first boat trip of the day and the crew was late and needed a half hour to stock the boat, that was the only bummer of the experience, loosing a half hour. The boat was so much fun and provided enough food and booze to satisfy and played awesome music! They had rafts and paddle boards to add to it. Would definitely recommend and would do it again!"

"Amazing! It was more than I ever expected It to be. I went and celebrated my birthday with a couple of friends and its absolutely one for the books. The ride was great, they allowed us to connect our own aux, and although we had other people on the boat with us we all got together and had an amazing time. Thank You South Beach Party Boats for a birthday my friends and I will never forget. I'll be sure to recommend you all to anyone and everyone I know. Thanks Again!!"

Birthday Party Boat Rentals

Ditch the venue and plan your party onboard.

Whether you’re looking to throw a birthday party for yourself, for a friend, or for a family member, you’re gonna want everyone to have a great time! After all, birthdays only come once a year and they should be special events. Whether you’re living in Florida or Italy there are hundreds of things one can do for their birthday. You can go to dinner, you can go to the bars, you can go hiking, or you can go boating! Since most people have the chance to do the usual things, like going out to dinner on a weekly basis, a birthday celebration should be something unique and a little out of the ordinary. Renting a boat or going on a private charter with a birthday party boat rental , might just be the perfect option for you. With the perfect boat rental, whether it’s a yacht or a sailboat, you can get out on the water in style and have the time of your life with your entire crew.

Hop aboard a party boat and head out to sea

Now that you’ve finally decided to spend your birthday on the water, it’s time to invite the entire crew to hop on one of our party boat rentals. You can even rent a captain that can guide you through the waters while you and your friends can jam out to some music from the speakers and kick back some cold ones. If fishing is your thing, you can also hop aboard one of our fishing boats and cast your line into the water. From deep sea fishing to reef fishing, no matter your boating needs, Boatsetter’s got you covered.

Get in on some water sports action

If you’re looking to rent a party boat for your birthday party , then looks no further. With our birthday party boat rentals, you can rent everything from a yacht to a speedboat to celebrate your special day. With a speedboat rental, you can get out on the water in style while enjoying the nice summer breeze and endless sun. You can enjoy everything from tubing to wakeboarding and skiing. Just be sure to bring along some snacks and cold beverages but being out on the water can make you hungry! And if you’re more of a yacht kind of person and wondering how much it costs to rent a yacht for a birthday party, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500.00 to $5,000 for a day.

Capacity at quay: 150 guests

Secret Life is managed by IYC with a weekly charter rate starting from €89,000.

Once a former passenger vessel, Dream was transformed into a private superyacht after nearly a decade of refit works. And while she is now bedecked in the glamorous interiors befitting a luxury charter, her vast interior spaces allow her to accommodate many more guests than would usually be able to step on board, with 18 suites for 36 guests and room for up to 40 members of crew. Party guests can arrive or depart in style thanks to the touch-and-go helipad, while a Japanese-style dining room with a teppanyaki grill, a private cinema, a two-level pool with a swim-up bar and a fully-equipped dive centre offer all the amenities for a variety of party themes and occasions.

The next day, stunning spa facilities will revive the sore-of-head, while the plain exhausted can retreat to the cinema. Currently undergoing an extensive winter refit, Force Blue will be back on the charter market this summer having been extended to 70 metres with an enlarged beach club and refreshed interiors.

New additions include an extended swimming platform with a barbecue for al fresco celebrations, plus a hydrotherapy hot tub on the foredeck and a well-stocked toybox.

Showcasing sporty lines and with a top speed of 38 knots, 50 metre  Da Vinci is one of the largest Mangustas available on the charter market. Launched in 2017, on board highlights include a large bathing platform, a spa pool on the 15 metre long foredeck, and an impressive open plan interior.

Her striking, classic-inspired lines will turn heads in any port, while lavishly decorated interiors set the scene for a night of glamorous festivities.

Esmeralda is managed by Fraser with a weekly charter rate starting from $230,000.

After an extensive interior refit in 2018, this 73 metre  Lurssen is certainly in ship shape. There's space for 200 revellers on Titania's sun and pool decks alone, while a 3.8 metre stern extension houses a beach club with sauna, bar and sofas, which converts into a stylish nightclub for those looking to continue the party into the night. For smaller gatherings, the pool deck bar seats eight – with another four pool seats – and can be set up for a DJ. Primary charterers staying on board can get glammed up for events in the beauty salon with the help of the on board beautician before other guests arrive, then can unwind after the festivities with a treatment from the resident masseuse.

Capacity at quay: 200 guests

Titania is managed for charter by Burgess and has a weekly starting rate of €525,000.

For parties where music is a key element, 62 metre motor yacht RoMa is more than sufficiently equipped for dockside events as her impressive audio system includes a party mode that provides music to all decks. There's also a games table for playing poker if the event is casino themed, while her main saloon bar is an ideal spot for pre and post dinner cocktails. A welcoming entrance lobby from which guests can head up to the party via a glass elevator sets the mood for revellers on arrival. 

RoMa is managed by Northrop & Johnson with a weekly charter rate starting from €345,000.

Presidential debate fact check: Analyzing Trump, Harris on abortion, immigration, more

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump took the stage tonight in Philadelphia for their first presidential debate of the Nov. 5 election season.

Donald Trump claim: 2020 election lawsuits failed only on ‘technicality’ 

“They said we didn't have standing. That's the other thing. They said we didn't have standing. A technicality.” 

Sign-up for Your Vote: Text with the USA TODAY elections team.

Trump has repeatedly and falsely claimed his 2020 election defeat to Joe Biden was “rigged.” He continued down this line during Tuesday’s debate , claiming his election lawsuits challenging the results failed on “a technicality” of not having “standing,” a legal term for the right to bring a lawsuit based on one's connection to the issue at hand. 

But that’s not true. Dozens of cases brought by Trump and his allies appeared before judges in hearings, including 30 that were heard on the merits, USA TODAY reported . Every case but one failed.

More : Donald Trump falsely claims his election lawsuits failed in 2020 only on 'a technicality'  

Eight conservative legal experts published a report in 2022 that reviewed evidence in 64 cases in six swing states, finding that Trump and his supporters didn’t provide evidence of widespread election fraud. 

“These cases provided the forums in which Trump and his supporters could and should have proven their claims," the report concluded. "This report shows that those efforts failed because of a lack of evidence and not because of erroneous rulings or unfair judges."

Of the 64 cases brought by Trump and his supporters, 20 were dismissed before a hearing on the merits, 14 were voluntarily dismissed by Trump and his supporters before a hearing on the merits, and 30 cases included a hearing on the merits, according to the report.

Kamala Harris claim: Number of new manufacturing jobs under Biden surpasses 800,000

“We have created over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs.”

This claim – which echoes one President Joe Biden made in 2023 – is not quite right anymore. Since Biden took office in January 2021, the U.S. added about 739,000 seasonally adjusted manufacturing jobs, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data .

Previous estimates did put the job growth well over 800,000, but the Labor Department lowered it during its annual preliminary revision of its data. The department estimated that 115,000 fewer manufacturing jobs were created during the 12-month period that began in March 2024. Its final revision is expected in February 2025.

Harris claim: SCOTUS ruled Trump would be immune from misconduct while president

“The United States Supreme Court recently ruled that the former president would essentially be immune from any misconduct if he were to enter the White House again.”  

This overstates the content of the ruling.

Harris is referring to a Supreme Court ruling from July that concluded in a 6-3 decision that presidents, including Trump, are  at least partially immune  from prosecution for crimes committed while in office. But the court’s decision isn’t as clear cut as Harris’ remarks make it seem. It  declares that “official” acts by presidents  are protected, but steps taken as a candidate are not.

The ruling also leaves room for presidents to be prosecuted under a narrow set of circumstances, related to responsibilities “within the outer perimeter” of presidential duties, or to unofficial acts, as  USA TODAY previously reported . The ruling did not grant Trump blanket immunity.  

Fact check:  No, Donald Trump was not criminally prosecuted for taking out, repaying loan

Fact check:  No evidence that hush-money trial jurors were 'Biden voters'

“The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the president does is official. The president is not above the law,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the conservative majority in the ruling.  

 Trump is the  first president  – former or current – to be criminally charged.

Donald Trump claim: Migrants eating cats, dogs in Ohio 

“In Springfield, (migrants are) eating the dogs. The people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating... they’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” 

This claim echoes allegations made by Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, who has accused Haitian immigrants of stealing and eating cats in his home state of Ohio. 

But Springfield city officials, including the city manager , say there is no evidence of any cats or other pets being harmed or eaten by Haitian immigrants, USA TODAY reported .

There was an incident in Canton, Ohio, about 170 miles northeast of Springfield, involving a 27-year-old woman who was arrested in August on suspicion of killing and eating a cat, but the woman was not a Haitian immigrant, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer .

Donald Trump claim: Biden took $3.5 million from Moscow mayor’s wife

“Between (Joe Biden) and his son, they get all this money from Ukraine, they get all of this money from all of these different countries, and then you wonder why is he so loyal to this one, that one, Ukraine, China, why is he - why did he get $3.5 million from the mayor of Moscow’s wife? Why did she pay him $3.5 million?”  

Trump has made similar claims before, including during his first debate with Joe Biden in 2020. It’s a reference to a report released that year by the Republican-controlled Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

In a section called “key findings,” the reports claims, “Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow," as USA TODAY previously reported. A later section instead attributes this transfer to a company: "Rosemont Seneca Thornton, an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, received $3.5 million in a wire transfer” from Baturina. The report’s source for the claim is a confidential document it says is on file with the committees, but it does not elaborate.

Fact check:  Federal employees, not agencies, donated to Harris campaign

Hunter Biden's lawyer, George Mesires, told CNN at the time  that his client was not an owner of Rosemont Seneca Thornton.

“Hunter Biden had no interest in and was not a ‘co-founder’ of Rosemont Seneca Thornton, so the claim that he was paid $3.5 million is false,” Mesires said.

Trump has tried before to link the claim to Joe Biden , who is Hunter Biden’s father.

Donald Trump claim: No American casualties in Afghanistan in 18-month period during his presidency 

“For 18 months, we had nobody killed (in Afghanistan).” 

Trump made this claim during an exchange about his negotiations with the Taliban that preceded the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in August 2021. 

Trump didn’t specify the 18-month period he was referring to, but there is no such period in his presidency during which no U.S. troops were killed in Afghanistan, according to the Defense Department’s Defense Casualty Analysis System .

Fact check:  Fox News poll showed Harris' support in Sun Belt, not with veterans

In 2017, 14 total deaths – including “hostile” and “non-hostile” ones – were recorded, according to the data. In 2018, there were 15. In 2019, there were 23. And in 2020, there were 11.

PolitiFact reported there was an 18-month stretch between February 2020 and August 2021 when no U.S. service member died “in combat,” but the period overlaps with President Joe Biden’s term in office.

This claim has also been debunked by multiple independent fact-checkers. 

Donald Trump claim: Harris was first candidate to leave the presidential race in 2020

“And when she ran, she was the first one to leave because she failed.”  

This is wrong.  

While Harris did run unsuccessfully for president in 2020, she was not the first Democratic candidate to drop out of the race. More than a dozen Democrats vied for the party nomination, which ultimately went to President Joe Biden.  

Harris ended her campaign on Dec. 3, 2019, citing a lack of financial resources. Other Democratic hopefuls who called it quits before her included California Rep. Eric Swalwell, then-Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, New York Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, then-New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, then-Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, former Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak and then-Montana Gov. Steve Bullock.

Kamala Harris claim: Trump invited Taliban leaders to Camp David 

“And (Trump) at the time invited the Taliban to Camp David, a place of storied significance for us as Americans.”  

Harris is right, but it’s worth noting that such a meeting never actually took place. 

In September 2019, Trump revealed he had planned to meet with Taliban leaders and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani at Camp David to continue peace negotiations. But it didn’t happen – Trump suspended peace talks after the Taliban claimed responsibility for a car bomb that killed 12 people, including an American.

At the time, Democratic and Republican leaders criticized Trump for planning to bring Taliban members to the U.S., and specifically to Camp David , which has long been used as a presidential retreat. He was also rebuked for the timing of the meeting, which was set to happen days before the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Donald Trump claim: Harris proposed to take guns from all firearm owners

“She has a plan to confiscate everybody’s gun.”  

This is false, and it echoes a claim we previously debunked that Harris would “end the Second Amendment ." 

While Harris has been a proponent of stricter gun control measures, there is no credible evidence of any plan to confiscate firearms from all gun owners.

Her campaign’s policy platform outlines gun control proposals that include bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, universal background checks and red-flag laws. But it makes no mention of confiscating guns from all Americans.

The campaign website credits the Biden-Harris administration for enacting “the first meaningful gun safety reform in decades,” referring to  a bipartisan bill  President Joe Biden signed into law in June 2022, a month after the  elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas . That  law enhances background checks on gun buyers  who are 18–21 years old, encourages states to develop better "red flag" laws and adds dating partners to the list of domestic abusers who are prohibited from buying firearms.

Donald Trump claim: Worst inflation in US history happened under Biden

“She is Biden – (responsible for) the worst inflation we’ve ever had.”  

The highest year-to-year inflation rate since the consumer price index was introduced was in 1917, when it hit 17.8%, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis .

While the inflation rate has been consistently higher under Biden’s administration than it was under Trump, it still remains far below that number.

The highest monthly rate during Biden’s presidency was 9.1% in June 2022, compared to a peak of 2.9% under Trump in June and July 2022, according to consumer price index data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics .

The average annual inflation rate is about 5.7% under Biden, according to an Investopedia analysis that found the average rate under Trump was 1.9% .

Donald Trump claim: Harris wouldn’t meet with Netanyahu when he addressed Congress

“She wouldn’t even meet with Netanyahu when he went to Congress to make a very important speech. She refused to be there because she was at a sorority party of hers.”

This is misleading. It’s true that Harris, in her capacity as vice president, didn’t preside over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s July 24 address to Congress in order to attend a previously scheduled campaign event, USA TODAY reported .  

That event was the Zeta Phi Beta sorority’s national convention in Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Star reported . The sorority is among the country’s oldest historically Black Greek-lettered organizations.  

Harris did, however, meet with Netanyahu at the White House the following day, as numerous   news outlets reported . The vice president “reiterated her longstanding and unwavering commitment to the security of the State of Israel and the people of Israel” during the meeting, according to a White House news release .

Kamala Harris claim: Trump said there will be a ‘bloodbath’ if he loses the presidential election

"Donald Trump the candidate has said in this election there will be a bloodbath if the outcome of this election is not to his liking"  

Harris is misrepresenting what Trump said, as Trump himself pointed out moments later. Harris is referring to a comment Trump made at a rally he held in Vandalia, Ohio, in March .  

While speaking at the event about the auto industry, Trump said it would be a “bloodbath” for the industry if he were to lose the election.

“ We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those guys if I get elected,” Trump said during the speech. “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole – that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it.” 

The full context of the comment shows he was warning about a metaphorical bloodbath for the auto industry, not promising violence if he doesn’t win the election.

“If you actually watch and listen to the section, he was talking about the auto industry and tariffs,” Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump’s campaign, told the Washington Post . “Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and autoworkers.” 

Kamala Harris claim: Trump told Putin to ‘do whatever the hell he wants’

“It is well known that he said of Putin, that he can do whatever the hell he wants and go into Ukraine.”  

This is technically accurate but an oversimplification by Harris, who made a similar claim during her speech last month at the Democratic National Convention. 

It’s a reference to a remark Trump made during a Feb. 10 campaign rally in South Carolina, where he suggested he might not aid NATO members attacked by Russia if they weren’t contributing enough money to the alliance, as USA TODAY previously reported.

“One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?’"  Trump said . “I said, ‘You didn’t pay? You’re delinquent?’ He said, ‘Yes, let’s say that happened.’ No, I would not protect you.”

He added, “In fact I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.” 

At the time, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Trump's comments could  endanger lives and undermine the security  of NATO members, including the U.S.

Donald Trump claim: Department of Justice played role in his four criminal prosecutions

“Every one of those cases was started by them against their political opponent.”  

Trump has long sought to paint President Joe Biden and his administration as orchestrating his prosecutions. 

But under the Constitution, the administration did not have authority over the state of New York’s prosecution of Trump , who was convicted on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to an adult film actress ahead of the 2016 election.

Nor does it have that power in the former president’s case in Georgia , where he and others have pleaded not guilty to charges of trying to steal the 2020 election . That case is on hold while an appeals court reviews a ruling that allows Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on it.

“When you’re dealing with state prosecutions, it’s district attorneys elected by the voters of their jurisdiction,” said  Allan Lichtman , a professor of history at American University. “That has nothing to do with the federal government.”

Additionally, when the Justice Department had the authority to pursue a case against Trump over the hush money circumstances, it chose not to do so . 

The federal classified documents case against Trump was dismissed in July with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon saying Justice Department special prosecutor Jack Smith – appointed in November 2022 in part to add a layer of separation between the investigation and the administration – was improperly appointed. Smith in August filed a new indictment in Trump’s federal election interference case to address the Supreme Court’s July decision that Trump had broad immunity from charges related to official acts as president.

Trump is due to be sentenced in New York on Nov. 26 – three weeks after the election. 

Donald Trump claim: Crime has soared under Biden and Harris 

“Crime here is up and through the roof.”  

Trump’s claim conflicts with the latest available data.  

Earlier this year, the FBI released preliminary data that showed sharp declines in violent crime in the first three months of 2024 compared to a year earlier, continuing a trend ongoing since a pandemic surge . Murder and rape were both down 26%, robbery was down 18% and aggravated assault fell by 13%, the Associated Press reported . But some experts have cautioned that the data is still preliminary and likely overstates the drop.  

Many cities in the U.S. have reported declines in homicides from 2023 to 2024, Axios reported in April. Similarly, the number of murders in the first three months of 2024 fell by nearly 20% in 204 cities analyzed by AH Datalytics, a criminal justice consulting firm. 

The most recent FBI data, which dates to 2022, shows the country’s violent crime rate at 370 per 100,000 people, the third-lowest rate in the last 50 years, behind only 2014 and 2019, according to PolitiFact . The FBI hasn’t released the final 2023 violent crime figures, which come out each October.

Kamala Harris claim: Project 2025 calls for abortion monitor to track pregnancies, miscarriages 

“In his Project 2025 there would be a national abortion monitor that would be monitoring your pregnancies, your miscarriages.”

This significantly overstates the nature of the monitoring called for in Project 2025.

The playbook does support anti-abortion policies, and it laments the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention abortion surveillance and reporting systems, calling them “woefully inadequate.”

Fact check:  Project 2025 is an effort by the Heritage Foundation, not Donald Trump

Fact check:  False claim Trump said he'd force government monitoring on pregnant women

It calls for the Department of Health and Human Services to use every available tool “to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother’s state of residence, and by what method.” But that's not the same as "monitoring your pregnancies." It appears to be calling for states to regularly report cumulative totals, not specific instances. 

It says reliable statistical data about abortion, abortion survivors and abortion-related maternal deaths “are essential to timely, reliable public health and policy analysis.”

Harris also repeats a common overreach by calling Project 2025 Trump's plan. Trump allies worked on the plan, but Trump has repeatedly said he does not support all elements of the plan and wasn't directly involved in creating it.

Donald Trump claim: Tim Walz supports abortion in the ninth month (updated)

• Corrections & Clarifications : This item was updated   Sept. 11 to clarify the timeline and nature of Walz’s actions on abortion as Minnesota governor, which included signing a bill that removed any restrictions based on gestational duration.

“Her vice-presidential pick says abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine.”  

There is no evidence Walz said this, though he signed a bill that removed limits to abortion based on gestational duration.

Walz said in 2022 that he supported “maintaining the timelines outlined by current law,” which at the time allowed abortions until the time of viability, around 24 weeks, for elective abortions, according to the Guttmacher Institute . That viability standard was then removed from state law in 2023 through a law Walz signed.

Walz has taken other steps to protect abortion rights in the state. He  signed a bill enshrining the right to abortion  and other reproductive healthcare into Minnesota state statutes in January 2023, seven months after the  Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade . Months later,  Walz signed a bill  that protected people traveling to Minnesota for abortion care, as well as the professionals providing that care, from legal repercussions from other states.

However, USA TODAY found no record of Walz quotes expressing support for abortion in the ninth month of pregnancy.

There is no current restriction or ban on abortion based on gestational duration in the state, according to the Guttmacher Institute and Kaiser Family Foundation .

Nationally, only 1% of all abortions occur at or after 21 weeks of pregnancy, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation . 

Donald Trump claim: The economy and stock market improved under the Trump administration despite the COVID-19 pandemic 

“We handed them a stock market and economy that was higher than it was before the pandemic.”  

Trump is right about the stock market, but the economy as a whole was worse off when he left office than it was before the pandemic.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (a popular stock market index) was up by about 8% (about 2,300 points) from February 2020 (the month before the COVID-19 pandemic was declared) to January 2021, when Trump left office.

But the overall economy was still reeling from the impact of the pandemic. U.S. GDP was down from where it was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the unemployment rate had spiked as millions of Americans had lost their jobs. The unemployment rate was at 3.5% in February 2020 compared to 6.4% when Trump left office in January 2021, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

Kamala Harris claim: Trump left one of highest trade deficits in US history 

“The Trump administration resulted in a trade deficit, one of the highest we’ve ever seen in the history of America.”  

This is accurate.

The country’s trade deficit reached its highest level since 2008 under Trump, who had promised to reduce it during his 2016 campaign. In 2020, the combined U.S. goods and services trade deficit increased to $679 billion, up from $481 billion in 2016, before Trump took office, Politico reported. A trade deficit happens when a country imports more than it exports.

However, the U.S. trade deficit has been higher before, including in 2006, when it reached $764 billion under former President George W. Bush. In 2007, it dropped to $711 billion, remained about the same in 2008, then fell sharply to $395 billion in 2009 as a result of the recession, according to Factcheck.org , which cited data from the U.S. Census Bureau .

Kamala Harris claim: Trump tariffs would cost families $4,000 per year 

“Economists have said that that Trump sales tax would actually result, for middle-class families, in about $4,000 more a year.”  

Harris also brought up this number during her speech at the Democratic National Convention in reference to  Trump’s proposed tariff of between 10%   and 20% on imported goods . Her estimate is at the high end of the economic estimates.

While Trump has described it as  a way to raise revenue , economists say  it would mostly be passed along to consumers , effectively making it a tax. But they disagree on the additional cost families would face. 

A  study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center  found that tariff, and one of 60% on Chinese goods that Trump has also proposed, would  lower the average post-tax incomes of American households  by about $1,800. Another think tank, The Peterson Institute for International Economics, says the  larger tariff would cost households more than $2,600 per year. 

But a projection from the conservative  American Action Forum  falls closer to the figure Harris cited, saying the 20% tariff and 60% tariff on Chinese goods would amount to a tax increase of $3,900 for a middle-class family. 

Donald Trump claim: Immigrants in the country illegally have highest rate of ‘criminality’ 

“(Immigrants in the country illegally are) destroying our country. They’re dangerous. They’re at the highest level of criminality, and we have to get them out.”

Immigrants are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than the broader U.S.-born population in recent years, according to a 2023 National Bureau of Economic Research paper.

The paper, co-authored by Stanford University researcher Ran Abramitzky , used U.S. Census data and focused on immigrants present in the Census regardless of their legal status and on men between the ages of 18 and 40, according to a news release about the study .

Fact check:  Migrants approached school buses, did not try to 'hijack' them

Fact check: No, 51M 'illegals' have not entered US under Biden, Harris

Alex Nowrasteh , vice president for economic and social policy studies at the Cato Institute, in a Feb. 24 report , examined homicide conviction rates between those who entered the country illegally and native-born Americans in Texas. Nowrasteh found that those entering illegally had a lower homicide conviction rate (2.4 per 100,000) than native-born Americans (2.8 per 100,000) in 2015.

Donald Trump claim: Inflation was at 21% under Biden 

“We have inflation like very few people have ever seen, probably the worst in our nation’s history. We were at 21%.”  

This is wrong, according to consumer price index data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics .  

The highest year-over-year inflation rate during Biden’s presidency was 9.1% in June 2022. The rate as of July 2024 was 2.9%.

By contrast, the highest rate during Trump’s presidency was 2.9%, which happened in both June and July 2018. The lowest rate was 0.1% in May 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Debate background: Rounding up our recent claims on Kamala Harris 

In the weeks since the Democrats selected Vice President Kamala Harris to replace President Joe Biden at the top of their ticket, an array of false or misleading claims about her circulated. 

Many centered on her background, her record as vice president or her campaign platform. Some have been around for years, dating to Biden’s pick of Harris as his running mate in 2020. Newer ones center around her role in addressing immigration and where she and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, stand on gun control and taxation . 

Among the false or misleading claims related to Harris that USA TODAY has debunked: 

• Fact check roundup: Biden exit, Harris entry spur flurry of false claims   
• Claim: Kamala Harris was raised in Canada, is not African-American and held Black prisoners past release dates (Partly false) 
• Claim: Kamala Harris is ineligible to succeed Biden because of her parents' citizenship (False)

Debate background: Immigration a key issue even as encounters at southern border drop

Immigration has been one of the top issues for voters during the presidential campaign season. Under President Joe Biden, illegal border crossings reached record highs , averaging more than 2 million per year from 2021 to 2023, according to Customs and Border Protection. But more recently, illegal crossings – or “encounters” – at the southern border fell to the lowest total in nearly four years only months after Biden announced broad restrictions on asylum . 

Vice President Kamala Harris was never put in charge of the southern border or made "border czar," contrary to some posts on social media , but that hasn’t stopped former president Donald Trump and other Republicans from attacking her immigration policy. In 2021, Biden announced Harris would lead his administration’s diplomatic efforts with Mexico and the Central American countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador to slow migration to the southern border. At the time, Harris said the administration “must address the root causes that cause people to make the trek, as the president described, to come here.” 

Trump, meanwhile, has promised the largest deportation effort in U.S. history if he is elected again. He also said he would reinstate strict immigration policies from his first term, limit asylum access at the U.S. southern border and eliminate automatic citizenship for people born in the U.S. to immigrant parents.  

In February, Republican lawmakers blocked an immigration bill that would have revamped the country’s immigration and border policies. Biden and Harris have blamed the bill's failure on opposition from Trump. Harris has vowed to bring back the bill and sign it into law if elected. 

• Claim: Kamala Harris was 'put in charge of the border' (False)  
• Claim: 51 million 'illegals' entered US under Biden, Harris (False)  
• Claim: Biden executive order granted citizenship to 1 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally (False)  
• Claim: Nearly 11,000 “illegals” were processed in Eagle Pass, Texas, in one day in mid-March 2024 (False)  
• Claim: The Texas National Guard has deployed tanks to the border with Mexico (False)
