President Biden on Wedensday says he won't participate in the decades-old tradition of three fall debates by the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, and has proposed two televised debates in June and September - with no audience, RFK Jr. can't participate, and Trump's mic will be muted when Biden is speaking. Oh, and they can only be hosted by a regime-friendly network.
"Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020, and since then he hasn’t shown up for a debate. Now he is acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal. I’ll even do it twice," Biden said in a video released Wednesday, poking fun at Trump's trial schedule in which the former President is free on Wednesdays. "So let’s pick the dates, Donald. I hear you’re free on Wednesdays."
According to Biden campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon, the commission's proposed schedule and difficulty in keeping candidates from violating debate rules are the reason for the proposal, the Washington Post reports.
