VERDICT · TRUE
The statement is a general assertion about the speaker's process for considering candidates for positions, which is a procedural claim about ongoing practices rather than a specific factual claim that can be independently verified as true or false. As a subjective description of standard hiring/political appointment practices, it is not demonstrably false and aligns with typical political rhetoric about vetting candidates.

VERDICT · FALSE
The statement uses an absolute claim ('always') about Kelly Ayotte's hiring practices that cannot be verified and is likely an exaggeration, making it factually inaccurate.

VERDICT · MISLEADING
The statement is a vague, generic assertion about always reviewing candidates for an important position, which cannot be objectively verified or disproven; it functions more as a rhetorical comment than a factual claim.
