Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itEl-Sayed asserts that his opponent entered the race because Trump personally called and recruited him — a specific, verifiable claim about the origin of his opponent's candidacy
What we foundThe claim that Trump called Rogers and asked him to run is plausible and consistent with available evidence, but the primary sourcing traces to a single New York Times report citing Rogers's own public remarks and an anonymous source, which have not been independently verified through a separate channel.
