The last time either President Biden or former President Donald Trump participated in a presidential debate was nearly four years ago, when they tangled in Tennessee at the height COVID-19 pandemic. Now Biden and Trump are finally set to meet again. Here’s what will be different this time — and why it matters.
On Wednesday, Biden posted a video on social media challenging Trump to “make my day, pal” and debate him “twice” before the November election. “So let’s pick the dates, Donald,” the president said, adding that “I hear you’re free on Wednesdays — the only time Trump is not required to be in court for his hush money trial.
Trump immediately responded on his Truth Social network, calling Biden “the WORST debater I have ever faced.” “Just tell me when,” Trump wrote. “I’ll be there.”
Within hours, Biden and Trump had tentatively agreed to two debates: one on June 27 in Atlanta, hosted by CNN, and one on Sept. 10, hosted by ABC News. Dates and details will be finalized after further negotiations.
