Content: Check Your Fact did not find any campaign contributions from AARP noted in Federal Election Commission filings. A search of Open Secrets campaign finance data did not find any organization-wide contributions to political campaigns. Open Secrets notes that AARP “itself did not donate, rather the money came from the organization’s individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals’ immediate family members.” AARP interviewed both Biden and President Donald Trump and released a list of the candidates’ positions on a number of issues on Sept. 28. The article later specified that “the candidates’ responses should not be interpreted as an AARP endorsement of any given policy position.” Check Your Fact did not find any AARP statement endorsing Biden on the organization’s website. There also don’t appear to be any credible media outlets reporting on the supposed endorsement. ( RELATED: Did Joe Biden Send A Tweet Thanking Nick Saban For Endorsing Him?) Although AARP — formerly known as the American Association for Retired Persons — does not endorse candidates, the organization does information related to politics on its website.
