President Trump at his rally on Tuesday played a video that spliced together clips of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) discussing fracking as he argued the Democratic ticket would damage the natural gas industry.
“This is an original Donald Trump Broadway play,” Trump told a crowd of supporters in Erie, Pa., Tuesday evening. “First time I have every pulled it out. I had it done specifically for the people of Erie because you guys like energy. You like being energy independent.”
The clip includes edited clips of Biden and Harris answering questions on fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, a method of drilling into shale in order to release oil and natural gas.
One clip of Biden is taken from the July 31, 2019, Democratic primary debate during which CNN anchor Dana Bash asked Biden if there would be “any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking” in his administration.
“No, we would — we would work it out. We would make sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those, either — any fossil fuel,” Biden said in response.
The video also includes clips of Harris saying there is “no question” she favors banning fracking and that it is “critically important” to end fossil fuel leases on public lands. Harris made those remarks when she was still a presidential candidate, before she dropped out of the race and later agreed to run alongside Biden.

“ It’s fracing, not fracking.“
Of course, you are right. But common usage has made “fracking” accepted spelling.
Ex-wife, I should say; but she kept his name after marrying another CNN staffer.
I don’t know anyone in the industry who spells it wrong.
