Trump and Biden Agree to Shock Debate Showdown Next Month
In a marked departure from longstanding norms, President Joe Biden made a novel proposal to debate Donald Trump far earlier than usual—as soon as next month.
For weeks, the Trump campaign has been taunting Biden, asserting he wasn’t up for a debate and challenging him to throw down “anytime, any place.”
Biden is offering to debate Trump twice, not three times: once in June, after the former president’s criminal trial should be wrapped up, and again in September before early voting starts. This means Biden would not participate in the three pre-scheduled nights set by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
