Fact vs. Fiction: Does the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz campaign support a 25 percent tax on unrealized capital gains?

Claim: The Kamala Harris/Tim Walz campaign supports a 25 percent tax on unrealized capital gains.

Reasoning: The claim is accurate but lacks important context. The proposed tax is part of the Biden administration’s 2025 budget plan, which the Harris/Walz campaign endorses. However, this tax would only apply to individuals with a net worth of more than $100 million.

Fact or Fiction? Fact, but missing context. The tax would only impact extremely wealthy individuals, specifically those with over $100 million in assets.
