The claim is inaccurate. Biden was placing an “I Voted” sticker on her shirt.
Fact Check:
President Joe Biden has claimed he will continue to try to forgive billions of student loan debt, according to Fox News. Biden posted on X page that he is “not backing down” from his promise to relieve student debt.
A post shared on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, shows two screenshots of an outing Biden had with his granddaughter and a still of a scene from “The Big Lebowski.” The image allegedly shows Biden touching his granddaughter, Natalie Biden, in an inappropriate way.
Text on the scene reads, “His, Granddaughter dude.”
