Both presidents have agreed to an ABC News debate on Sept. 10.
Biden released a video calling on Trump to debate first in June.ABC7 New York 24/7 Eyewitness News StreamPresident Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, are set to face off in presidential debates in June and September -- hours after Biden on Wednesday challenged the former president to two debates, which Trump said he was "ready and willing" to do.
"We propose a debate in June, a debate in July, a debate in August, and a debate in September, in addition to the Vice Presidential debate," said Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, with the Trump campaign, said in a memo. "Additional dates will allow voters to have maximum exposure to the records and future visions of each candidate."
Trump, who skipped all four Republican National Committee-sanctioned 2024 primary election debates and pulled out of one of his three debates with Biden in 2020, said in response that he was willing to debate Biden during the proposed dates, but said there should be more than two debates. Also, "the moderator should be selected by the broadcast host from among their regular personnel, so as to avoid a 'ringer' or partisan."
The Biden campaign said all debates should be 1:1 -- meaning it would bar Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., an independent candidate, from participating.
