Biden & Trump Come To An Agreement Over Debates
In case you didn’t hear, former President Trump and President Joe Biden have agreed to debate on CNN in June.
Former President Donald Trump has accepted President Joe Biden’s conditions for two televised debates. These debates are scheduled for June and September.
Before Biden agreed to debate, he set some conditions. There will be no audience, Trump’s microphone will be muted when Biden is speaking, and the debates will only be on networks friendly to Biden.

President Biden announced his readiness for the debates on the social media platform X, confirming an invitation from CNN for the first debate on June 27. In a post, Biden addressed Trump, saying, “Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place.” Trump responded to this by expressing his eagerness to participate. He told Fox News Digital, “I will accept and will be there,” adding that he looks forward to being in “beautiful Atlanta.”
Former president Trump immediatley responded.
“It’s time for a debate so that he can explain to the American People his highly destructive Open Border Policy, new and ridiculous EV Mandates, the allowance of Crushing Inflation, High Taxes, and his really WEAK Foreign Policy, which is allowing the World to ‘Catch on Fire.’ I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I would strongly recommend more than two debates and, for excitement purposes, a very large venue, although Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds – That’s only because he doesn’t get them. Just tell me when, I’ll be there. ‘Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!’”
Biden also sent a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates that he will not be participating in their scheduled debates.

An interesting observation was made that was reported by Redstate. One of their reporters noticed that Biden’s 14 second clip of Biden talking tough demanding a debate had at least five edits. The guy couldnt’ get through the a 14 second video and they needed to make five edits.
Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate.
Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again.
Well, make my day, pal. pic.twitter.com/AkPmvs2q4u
