The 2024 presidential campaign has been awash with fake stories about Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz in recent months .

But nowhere are these stories more abundant than X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter , which was purchased in 2022 by far-right billionaire Elon Musk .

A recent story that went viral on X claimed to be a testimonial from a former student of Walz claimed they were sexually abused by Walz.

Claims that ABC News colluded with the Harris campaign with the news network have never been made public.

Megyn Kelly and other right-wing influencers say the claims are fishy.

The Trump campaign is also spreading fake news even in official events.

Trump is also repeatedly spreading misinformation about disaster relief and immigration.
