Biden says he’ll debate Trump twice: ‘Make my day’

WASHINGTON –

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he was willing to debate Republican presidential rival Donald Trump twice before the Nov. 5 election but would not take part in the traditional televised showdowns organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

“Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then he hasn’t shown up for a debate,” Biden said in a video message posted on X(opens in a new tab). “Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again. Make my day pal. I’ll even do it twice.”

“So let’s pick the dates, Donald. I hear you’re free on Wednesdays,” Biden said.
