Trump recommended more than two debates \u2013 and a very large venue \u201cfor excitement purposes.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Democratic president\u2019s proposal, the first formal offer by his campaign, called for direct negotiations between the Trump and Biden campaigns over the rules, network hosts and moderators for the one-on-one debates.<br \/>\nBiden\u2019s move shows he is willing to take some calculated risks to boost his opinion poll numbers in a race in which he is trailing Trump in key battleground states, as voters remain concerned about his age and his handling of the economy.<br \/>\n\u201cDonald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then he hasn\u2019t shown up for a debate,\u201d Biden said in a video message posted on X. \u201cNow he\u2019s acting like he wants to debate me again. Make my day, pal. I\u2019ll even do it twice.\u201d<br \/>\nTrump responded to Biden by calling him \u201cthe worst debater\u201d he has ever faced. \u201cI am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September,\u201d he posted.<br \/>\n\u201cI would strongly recommend more than two debates and, for excitement purposes, a very large venue, although Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds \u2013 That\u2019s only because he doesn\u2019t get them,\u201d Trump added.<br \/>\nTrump, who refused to debate his rivals in the Republican primary race, has in recent weeks been challenging Biden to engage in a one-on-one matchup with him, offering to debate the incumbent Democrat \u201canytime, anywhere, anyplace.\u201d<br \/>\nIn the video, Biden also took a swipe at Trump\u2019s legal troubles with an oblique reference to the weekly Wednesday breaks in Trump\u2019s hush money trial in New York.<br \/>\n\u201cSo let\u2019s pick the dates, Donald. I hear you\u2019re free on Wednesdays,\u201d Biden said.<br \/>\n<strong>SHUNNING THE DEBATE COMMISSION<\/strong><br \/>\nBiden said he would not take part in the traditional televised showdowns organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates, rejecting the nonpartisan organization that has managed presidential debates since 1988.<br \/>\nIn a letter, Biden\u2019s campaign chair, Jennifer O\u2019Malley Dillon, notified the group that Biden will not be participating in the three general-election debates sponsored by the commission, which are scheduled for Sept. 16, Oct. 1 and Oct. 9.<br \/>\nThe Biden campaign wants the debates to start much sooner than the dates proposed by the commission, so voters can see the two candidates side by side before early voting begins in September.<br \/>\nThey also want it to be just the two candidates and the moderator \u2014 without an in-person audience and the participation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or any other independent or third-party candidates.<br \/>\nAsked about any preference for format or topics, Biden-Harris campaign spokesman Michael Tyler said there were still some details to work out, including network moderators.<br \/>\n\u201cWe want to make sure that we have a conversation that is structured on the issues the American people care about,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n(Reuters)Debate. presidential debates, Joe Biden, Donald Trump<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. President Joe Biden is willing to debate Republican rival Donald Trump twice before the Nov. 5 election, with terms including two televised debates in June and September.
