What the evidence supports
Trump received more votes in Florida in 2024 than any earlier presidential candidate in the state.
At the Daytona rally, Trump said he won Florida three times and received more votes than any candidate in its history. Official Florida results record 6,110,125 votes for Trump in 2024, above his 5,668,731 in 2020 and earlier candidates' totals. This is a raw-vote record, not a record share of the vote.

The 2025 tax law eliminated federal income tax on Social Security benefits.
Trump again described the law as providing 'no tax on Social Security' at the rally. IRS guidance still says benefits can be taxable. The law instead added a temporary, income-limited deduction for eligible people aged 65 or older, which does not abolish the benefits tax.

A protester at the Daytona Beach rally was paid $250 to disrupt it.
Trump called a protester paid and asserted a $250 payment during the rally. The accessible reporting confirms an interruption, but the reviewed record does not identify the protester, a payer or a payment record. An interruption alone cannot establish compensation.

These full-text records were checked for testable factual claims. A verdict appears above only when corroborating evidence supports one.
Bottom line
Three attributable claims are assessed: one Supported, one False and one Unresolved. Florida's certified vote total supports the raw-vote record. IRS guidance contradicts a categorical claim that Social Security benefits are no longer taxed. No reviewed evidence establishes the alleged $250 protester payment. Two closed-press appearances lack accessible complete text.
