Claim: In June 2024, the Biden campaign attempted to renegotiate the terms of the 2024 presidential debates to allow Biden to remain seated. For example, on June 17, 2024, X account @DC_Reporter posted a claim that the Biden campaign was attempting to renegotiate the debate rules to allow him to sit for the 2024 presidential debates, according to two unnamed sources. There is no evidence that Biden's campaign attempted to change the debate rules to allow Biden to sit. The editor in chief for the Washington Reporter has previously spread untrue rumors, including that George Soros organizers were recruiting paid "March for Our Lives" protesters, as we've previously reported. We reached out to the Washington Reporter seeking evidence of the claim, and will update this story if we receive a response.
