Sources Say reporters received exclusive word Tuesday that the campaigns of President Donald Trump and former vice president Joe Biden have agreed to senior-citizen accommodations for the upcoming debates, including Bingo, warm milk, and occasional nap breaks.

President Trump, the oldest man to be elected president, is now 74, and Mr. Biden is 77. The Commission on Senior-Citizen Debates (CSCD) met with representatives of each campaign and hashed out the details, Sources Say has found.

Mr. Biden had requested microwave-heated Ensure-brand milk as well as a minimum of four nap breaks spaced evenly throughout the debate. President Trump had countered to request a Bingo round, as well as jumbo-sized time cards so he would not have to squint.

Both men independently asked for periodic breaks to adjust dentures.

A typical presidential debate is two hours. In total, the adjustments will lengthen the debate to seven hours and 45 minutes.

The full list of senior-citizen accommodations is reproduced below:

• Two glasses of microwaved Ensure-brand milk placed in each podium

• Lightning-fast Bingo round (two and a half hours)
