US President Joe Biden said in an interview on Friday that he was ready to publicly debate his Republican opponent Donald Trump, whom he will face in the November presidential election.
Asked by host Howard Stern whether he would participate in a public debate with his predecessor, the 81-year-old Democrat, running for a second term, said: “I will, somewhere. I do not know when. I look forward to doing it.”
This is the first time that Mr. Biden has clearly stated that he is ready to debate with his Republican rival as part of the 2024 presidential election campaign.
Donald Trump refused to participate in even one of the Republican primary debates, a selection process he ultimately won.
On the other hand, he said Friday that he was ready to debate Joe Biden “anytime, anywhere.”
“I propose Monday evening, Tuesday evening, or Wednesday evening, during my campaign rally in Michigan,” launched the former president on his Truth Social network.
Donald Trump, who is currently on trial in New York in a historic trial, then suggested holding the debate “tonight, at the courthouse.”
And says: “I’ll stick around!”
