Former President Trump accepted President Biden\u2019s offer to debate him on television in June and September.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Trump said he was in, Biden said in a post on X that he \u2018received and accepted an invitation\u2019 from CNN for a debate on June 27.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place,\u2019 Biden wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When asked for comment, Trump told Fox News Digital that he will accept and \u2018will be there.\u2019 The Republican added that he is \u2018looking forward to being in beautiful Atlanta.\u2019<\/p>\n
The proposal was initially outlined by the Biden-Harris campaign in a letter to the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates on Wednesday morning. It abandoned the decades-old tradition of three fall meetings organized by the debate commission. Trump afterward told Fox News Digital that he\u2019d accept the timeline proposed by the incumbent Democrat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Crooked Joe Biden is the worst debater I have ever faced \u2013 he can\u2019t put two sentences together,\u2019 Trump told Fox News Digital. \u2018Crooked is also the worst president in the history of the United States, by far.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trump told Fox News Digital that \u2018it is time for a debate to take place \u2013 even if it has to be held through the offices of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which are totally controlled by Democrats and who, as people remember, got caught cheating with me with debate sound levels.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m ready to go,\u2019 Trump said. \u2018The dates that they proposed are fine. Anywhere. Anytime. Any place. Let\u2019s see if Joe can make it to the stand-up podium.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018The proposed June and early September dates are fully acceptable to me,\u2019 Trump told Fox News Digital. \u2018I will provide my own transportation.\u2019<\/p>\n
In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, the Biden-Harris campaign proposed that the first debate be in late June, after Trump\u2019s New York criminal trial is likely to be over and after Biden returns from meeting with world leaders at the G-7 Summit. A second presidential debate would occur in September prior to the beginning of early voting. The campaign proposed a vice presidential debate to occur in late July after the Republicans nominate their vice presidential candidate.<\/p>\n
The Biden-Harris campaign asked that the debates occur inside a TV studio, with microphones that automatically cut off when a speaker\u2019s time limit elapses. The letter also asked that the debates involve just the two candidates and the moderator \u2014 without \u2018an in-person audience with raucous or disruptive partisans and donors\u2019 that Trump feeds on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They also want the debates without the participation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. or other independent or third-party candidates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then, he hasn\u2019t shown up for a debate. Now he\u2019s acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal,\u2019 Biden said in a video message shared earlier Wednesday morning. \u2018I\u2019ll even do it twice. So let\u2019s pick the dates, Donald. I hear you\u2019re free on Wednesdays.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Echoing his sentiments expressed to Fox News Digital, Trump also took to Truth Social in a post Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s time for a debate so that he can explain to the American People his highly destructive Open Border Policy, new and ridiculous EV Mandates, the allowance of Crushing Inflation, High Taxes, and his really WEAK Foreign Policy, which is allowing the World to \u2018Catch on Fire.\u2019 I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September,\u2019 Trump posted. \u2018I would strongly recommend more than two debates and, for excitement purposes, a very large venue, although Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds \u2013 That\u2019s only because he doesn\u2019t get them. Just tell me when, I\u2019ll be there. \u2018Let\u2019s get ready to Rumble!!!\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trump on Saturday appeared before a crowd of tens of thousands on the Jersey Shore in the deep-blue state. The campaign event was held in between Trump\u2019s appearances in Manhattan Criminal Court.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
