Has Joe Biden finally accepted Republican rival Donald Trump's debate challenge ahead of the November election? The answer is yes.
In a fiery video released Wednesday, Mr. Biden called on President Trump to debate him at least twice before voting in the presidential election, but only if conditions were met.
The Biden campaign challenged Trump to debates twice, in June and September. They also called for a vice presidential debate in July.
Biden harshly criticized the former president, saying, “Donald Trump lost to me twice in debates in 2020, and now he wants to debate me again.''
“Then make my day my friend,” the Commander continued.
“I hear you're free on Wednesdays,” the 81-year-old president quipped, alluding to President Trump's ongoing criminal trial in New York being closed every Wednesday.
The Trump campaign had long been challenging Biden to a debate ahead of the election.
Trump leads Biden in 5 battleground states
Former US President Donald Trump is hopeful of winning a second term in this year's presidential election. The latest New York Times, Siena College and Philadelphia Inquirer polls Monday morning showed the former president leading in five of the six major swings.
Meanwhile, despite months of campaigning, Biden's chances for a new term are being undermined. Young and non-white voters have reportedly expressed particular dissatisfaction with his handling of the Gaza economy and the war.
Polls show that Trump currently has an advantage in the head-to-head presidential race against Biden, with favorable support among registered voters in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. There is. Biden led the polls in just one state: Wisconsin. It was also noted that all six states supported Biden in 2020.
Biden's support soared after his State of the Union address in March. But his stance on pressing issues such as immigration, the cost of living and Israel's occupation of Gaza appears to support voters' desire for change.
