During a debate, Walz made several claims about Donald Trump, John Kelly's comments, opioid deaths, Kamala Harris’s role in immigration, housing affordability, and U.S. troops' injuries after an Iranian missile strike. Here's a breakdown:

1. **Walz on John Kelly and Trump**: Walz cited John Kelly, Trump's former Chief of Staff, who reportedly called Trump "the most flawed person" he's ever met. Kelly has confirmed various reports about Trump, including his controversial remarks about service members being "losers" and "suckers." Trump has denied making these comments.

2. **Opioid Deaths**: Walz claimed that opioid deaths saw the largest drop in history, with a 30% decrease in Ohio. CDC data shows opioid-related deaths have indeed fallen by around 7% nationwide as of early 2024, with an 18% decline in Ohio, though Walz's 30% figure seems exaggerated.

3. **Kamala Harris and the Border**: Vance said Harris was the "border czar," but her role was more focused on addressing the root causes of migration from Central America rather than direct management of border enforcement.

4. **Housing Affordability and Immigration**: Vance claimed immigration is driving housing prices up. While an influx of people can increase housing demand, the housing shortage has been an ongoing issue since the Great Recession, due to underbuilding.

5. **Iranian Missile Strike and Troop Injuries**: Walz mentioned that after Iranian missiles fell near U.S. troops, Trump dismissed their traumatic brain injuries as "headaches." Trump did initially downplay the severity of these injuries, though traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a serious concern according to the CDC.

Each of these claims has a mix of truth and context worth considering.
