No, Biden Campaign Did Not Try to Renegotiate Presidential Debate Rules to Allow Him to Sit

In June 2024, the Biden campaign attempted to renegotiate the terms of the 2024 presidential debates to allow Biden to remain seated.

As the 2024 U.S. presidential election neared, opponents of President Joe Biden continued to stress the fact that he is the oldest president in U.S. history, at 81. 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.
