President Joe Biden, aged 81, expressed his willingness to engage in a debate with former President Donald Trump during an appearance on the Howard Stern Show last Friday.
Biden had previously refrained from committing to a debate with Trump. In contrast, Trump has shown eagerness to challenge Biden on his track record, vowing in March to participate in a debate with him under any circumstances.
In April, major television networks urged Biden to agree to Trump’s proposal for a debate. A Fox News poll conducted in March revealed that nearly three-fourths of voters believe that if Biden opts out of the presidential debates, it would demonstrate “weakness.”
Stern asked Biden if he did actually debate Trump, to which Bide said, “I am, somewhere. I am happy to debate him.”
Trump quickly took to Truth Social and exclaimed “ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE,” continuing:
“I suggest Monday Evening, Tuesday Evening, or Wednesday Evening at my Rally in Michigan, a State that he is in the process of destroying with his E.V. Mandate. In the alternative, he’s in New York City today, although probably doesn’t know it, and so am I, stuck in one of the many Court cases that he instigated as ELECTION INTERFERENCE AGAINST A POLITICAL OPPONENT – A CONTINUING WITCH HUNT! It’s the only way he thinks he can win. In fact, let’s do the Debate at the Courthouse tonight – on National Television, I’ll wait around!”
