President Biden says he will debate former President Trump ahead of this year’s election, though said he didn’t know in what format.
President Joe Biden said he will debate former President Donald Trump ahead of this year’s election, though he said he didn’t know in what format. “I am, somewhere. I don’t know when,” Biden said when asked by interviewer Howard Stern whether he planned to debate his predecessor. “I’m happy to debate him.” It’s the first time Biden has said explicitly he would debate Trump in this election cycle. Previously, he has equivocated, saying it would depend on Trump’s behavior. This is a breaking story and will be updated.
After spending time with their potential future boss at his Florida home over the weekend, many of former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential hopefuls hit the Sunday show circuit, casting doubt over election integrity, bashing President Biden for his handling of campus protests, and one even leaving open the possibility of moving from his home to accommodate their candidacy. Noem, for her part, remained on defense after blowback from an anecdote about killing a 14-month-old dog and goat on her farm. As CNN reported Friday, sources said Noem was off the shortlist long before the excerpts dropped and won’t be under consideration anytime soon.
