The organizations say the “rich tradition” that's been part of every general election campaign since 1976 is more important than ever during “this polarized time."Biden answers a question as Trump listens during the final presidential debate Oct. 22, 2020, in Nashville, Tenn. While Trump, who did not participate in debates for the Republican nomination, has indicated a willingness to take on his 2020 rival, the Democratic president has not committed to debating him again.
“If there is one thing Americans can agree on during this polarized time, it is that the stakes of this election are exceptionally high,” the organizations said in a joint statement. “Amidst that backdrop, there is simply no substitute for the candidates debating with each other, and before the American people, their visions for the future of our nation.”Biden and Trump debated twice in 2020.
