evidence: The claim: The presidential seal is blurred in videos of Joe Biden because he's not the real president [...] As other independent fact-checking organizations have noted, those claims are wrong – Biden is the president. The presidential seal is blurred in some of his videos on social media because of how a federal statute governs its use in promotional materials. [...] Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that the presidential seal is blurred in videos of Biden because he's not the real president. The seal is blurred in videos from Biden and Harris' personal social media accounts due to a federal law that prohibits its use in a way that could give "a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the government of the United States." The seal is not blurred in videos from the president and vice president's government-run accounts. Biden won the 2020 election and is the U.S. president.
