President Biden is willing to debate Donald Trump at least twice before the election, and as early as June — but his campaign is rejecting the nonpartisan organization that has managed presidential debates since 1988, according to a letter obtained by The New York Times.
The letter by the Biden campaign lays out for the first time the president’s terms for giving Trump what he has openly clamored for: a televised confrontation with a successor Trump has portrayed, and hopes to reveal, as too feeble to hold the job.
The president wants two debates before early voting begins, with no crowds. It is the first formal offer by the Biden campaign for debates with Trump, who has declared repeatedly that he will debate his successor “anytime and anywhere.” Tap the link in our bio to read about the terms Biden has set for the debate.
