Biden Campaign Silent As Trump World Openly Lobs Debate Challenge

While former President Donald Trump seems more than eager to debate President Joe Biden, the sitting president’s re-election campaign is silent on its plans to put 81-year-old Biden on the general election debate stage.

Less than a year out from the presidential election, the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) announced the three dates for next year’s forums. Though Trump previously said in June he would debate Biden, questions about if he would attend the general election debates have seemingly risen as the former president continues to skip the Republican presidential primary debates.

But when asked if the former president — if the Republican presidential nominee — would participate in the general election debates, a senior Trump aide expressed enthusiasm.
