Just the facts, please
Fact-checking might be a full-time job this election cycle as pundits, people on social media, news panels and even presidential candidates are weighing in on topics perhaps before getting all the details or double-checking for the truth. With the recent decision by President Biden to opt off the ballot for this November's election it ignited a firestorm of opinions on whether it was legal or not. It's why places like PolitiFact reached out to Michigan State University's Brian Kalt to get 'the fact's on just what was legal or not. He added however, the the Supreme Court has the final say if it is contested. Brian Kalt, a Michigan State University law professor, said he couldn’t imagine the Supreme Court would prohibit Democrats from replacing Biden as their presidential nominee. "But who can say?" he added. "The Supreme Court has a habit of exceeding the bounds of my imagination."
