Trump BEGS for a Debate With Biden After Skipping Every Primary Debate
Former President Donald Trump challenged President Joe Biden to a debate on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday.
“It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People,” wrote Trump, who refused to debate any of his 2024 GOP primary rivals.
“Therefore, I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE! The Debates can be run by the Corrupt DNC, or their Subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). I look forward to receiving a response. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump concluded.
Biden-Harris 2024 Communications Director Michael Tyler responded to Trump’s post, saying, “I know Donald Trump’s thirsty for attention and struggling to expand his appeal beyond the MAGA base — and that’s a conversation we’ll have at the appropriate time in this cycle. But if he’s so desperate to see President Biden in prime time, he doesn’t have to wait! He can join the tens of millions of Americans who will tune in to watch the State of the Union tomorrow night. He might even learn a thing or two about bringing people together and actually delivering for the American people.”
The Republican National Committee pulled out of the Commission on Presidential Debates in April of 2022.
“The Commission on Presidential Debates is biased and has refused to enact simple and commonsense reforms to help ensure fair debates including hosting debates before voting begins and selecting moderators who have never worked for candidates on the debate stage,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement at the time.
Earlier in the day, Trump also vowed to go live during Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday night. Trump not only promised to give his followers counter-programming so they could avoid watching Biden, but said he would fact-check Biden’s address and explain to his followers Biden’s message.
“I am pleased to inform you that tomorrow night we will be doing a LIVE, Play by Play, of Crooked Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address. I will correct, in rapid response, any and all inaccurate Statements, especially pertaining to the Border and his Weaponization of the DOJ, FBI, A.G.s, and District Attorneys, to go after his Political Opponent, ME (something never done before in this Country!). We did this once before to tremendous success – Beating All Records. It is important for the Country to get the TRUTH!” Trump wrote.
