California Gov. Gavin Newsom made the claim while talking with Fox News host Sean Hannity after the second Republican presidential debate.
The claim: In a conversation after the second Republican presidential debate, conservative Fox News host Sean Hannity and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, squabbled over a comment by Mike Pence. The former vice president said that during his tenure, when Donald Trump was president, “We achieved energy independence. We became a net exporter of energy for the first time in 75 years.
In first GOP debate, White House contenders focused early on oil and gas policies PolitiFact ruling: Half true. Gains in U.S. energy independence in recent years are measurable. But experts say it isn’t true energy independence because the U.S. still depends on international crude oil for key elements of its energy needs. Newsom is correct that Biden hasn’t squandered whatever degree of energy independence the U.S. gained under Trump.
