I Fact-checked this article and found that:

  1. Election Results: The article claims Donald Trump was elected as the 47th president, defeating Kamala Harris. Official sources, like the Federal Election Commission or major news outlets, are needed to verify this. If this claim is false, it undermines the entire article.

  2. Congressional Control: It states there’s a Republican majority in the Senate and ongoing House leadership. Confirming the actual composition of Congress post-election is important, as these would affect policy feasibility.

  3. Quotes from Key Figures: Statements attributed to figures like Tom Koutsoumpas and Katie Smith Sloan should be verified against official press releases or organizational websites like LeadingAge and NPHI.

  4. Policy Initiatives: The article suggests new policies, such as tax credits for caregivers, which would need validation from any statements from the Trump campaign or transition team.
