We should debate for the good of the country,\u2019 Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Biden was asked about Trump\u2019s comments later that day while campaigning in Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Immediately? Well, if I were him, I\u2019d want to debate me too. He\u2019s got nothing else to do,\u2019 he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and Haley are set to go head-to-head in her home state of South Carolina for its primary on Feb. 24.
