Biden Challenges Trump
To Two Debates.
US
President Joe Biden challenged Donald Trump on Wednesday to “make my day” and
hold two televised debates in June and September, with his Republican rival
swiftly accepting.
Biden
however shunned the three debates proposed by the bipartisan US election debates
commission, opting instead for two audience-free clashes hosted by news
organizations.
Biden
also trolled Trump over his ongoing criminal hush money trial in New York,
which features a mid-week break.
The
Democrat and the Republican have been sparring for months over debates, for
years a traditional part of any US presidential election campaign, but there
has been uncertainty over whether they would go ahead.
Trump
— who avoided any debates with his rivals for the Republican presidential
nomination this year — said he was “ready to Rumble.
Biden’s
campaign proposed the first one-on-one debate in late June “after Donald
Trump’s New York criminal trial is likely to be over and after President Biden
returns from meeting with world leaders at the G7 Summit.”
