President Donald Trump officially announced a $15 billion steel plant project in Iowa, to be developed by Mesabi Metallics, during an event at the White House on September 28, 2026.

The claim that the United States has added 807,000 jobs since Donald Trump began his second term in January 2025 is supported by labor market data reported in September 2026.

Governor Gavin Newsom did veto a bill, Assembly Bill 1729, which sought to provide state departments with more authority to set their own telework policies, thereby loosening the governor's existing return-to-office mandate.

While it is statistically true that the total number of employed Americans has frequently reached record highs due to long-term population and economic growth, the claim lacks necessary context regarding the pace of job creation.
