Moderators of the debate pointed out that city officials in the central Ohio town have said “there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.”

A few minutes later, Trump cited debunked claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are “eating the pets of the people that live there,” repeating the viral claims amplified by his vice presidential running mate, U.S. Sen. JD Vance, and other Republicans. Trump expressed disbelief at the city’s statements, saying he saw someone on television who claimed their dog “was taken and used for food.” When the debate’s moderator reiterated that the city’s manager said “there’s no evidence of that,” Trump responded “We’ll find out.”
DeWine also said he’s sending an extra $2.5 million to health officials in Springfield to pay for more primary care by doctors after he said the city’s rapid population growth has strained the existing medical system.
