"I’ve begun to prepare by going over what the president has said, and the multiple lies he’s told," Biden said during a news conference in Delaware when asked about how he's preparing for the debates.
"What I’d love to have is a crawler at the bottom of the screen, a fact-checker as we speak," he continued. "If we really wanted to do something, I think that would make a great, great debate if everything both of us said was instantly fact-checked."
Biden acknowledged the idea may not be feasible before adding that he planned to use the debates "to lay out as clearly as I can what I think we have to do to bring this country back."
Biden had previously said during a television interview that he would attempt to fact-check the president during the debates.
The first presidential debate is slated for Sept. 29 in Cleveland, with two more to follow in October. The Commission on Presidential Debates announced the moderators earlier Wednesday. They include Fox News's Chris Wallace
