The prospect of a debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is being discussed, as surveys indicate that Biden is lagging behind his predecessor in each of the seven critical states. On the Howard Stern Show, Biden declared that he would be “happy to” debate Trump in the general election.
In response, Trump declared that they will take place at the White House and that he was “ready”. According to a Gallup poll, President Biden is currently in a difficult position; the polling business states that the President is in a “weaker position than any prior incumbent.”
Biden and Trump
Joe Biden and Donald Trump could be getting closer to facing up on the debate stage before voters choose the next president next year, following full-court pressure from Trump’s campaign and its supporters.
In a wide-ranging interview, Biden gave Howard Stern his strongest pledge to the general election debates, saying he would be “happy to” debate him. Trump quickly retaliated, stating, “Everyone knows he doesn’t mean it, but in case he does, I say, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, an old expression used by Fighters.”
Republicans have become more vocal in their demands for debates, voicing their opinions in interviews with allies, press releases, campaign memoranda, and talking points for Republican surrogates. The main thrust of the argument is that Biden should go on stage with Trump as soon as possible because he wants to debate and the American people deserve it.
