WASHINGTON − Former President Donald Trump returned to the campaign trail Tuesday and mockingly challenged President Joe Biden to another debate after the incumbent president’s rocky performance last month.

Taunting Democrats who want Biden to drop out and allow Vice President Kamala Harris or another Democrat to enter the ring, Trump said during a sweltering Florida campaign stop he would give the incumbent president a chance to “redeem himself” with another debate — this week.

“This time it will be man-to-man — no moderators, no holds barred,” Trump told Florida supporters gathered at the Trump National Doral Golf Club Miami.

Biden and Trump have already agreed to a Sept. 10 debate hosted by ABC News.

But Trump didn’t only bash Biden and Harris during the Florida rally. He also again used dehumanizing language about undocumented immigrants as he laid out his border priorities for a second term. Trump has long vowed mass deportations across the country if he returns to the White House, and border debates have taken center stage during his third White House bid.

Here are four key takeaways from Trump’s Florida campaign rally.
