Biden-Trump Debate Set for June and September, Former President Accepts Invitation

Former President Donald Trump has accepted President Joe Biden's offer to debate him on television in June and September, according to a statement from Biden's campaign. The proposal abandons the decades-old tradition of three fall meetings organized by the debate commission.

Biden made the offer in a post on Twitter, saying he "received and accepted an invitation" from CNN for a debate on June 27 — far earlier in the election cycle than most presidential year showdowns.

Trump told Fox News Digital that he will accept and "will be there." The Republican added that he is "looking forward to being in beautiful Atlanta."

The proposal was initially outlined by the Biden-Harris campaign in a letter to the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates on Wednesday morning. It abandoned the decades-old tradition of three fall meetings organized by the debate commission. Trump afterward told Fox News Digital that he'd accept the timeline proposed by the incumbent Democrat.

"Crooked Joe Biden is the worst debater I have ever faced — he can't put two sentences together," Trump told Fox News Digital. "Crooked is also the worst president in the history of the United States, by far."

Trump told Fox News Digital that "it is time for a debate to take place – even if it has to be held through the offices of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which are totally controlled by Democrats and who, as people remember, got caught cheating with me with debate sound levels."

Biden has set several requirements for the debates, including that they be held without a live audience and with microphones that cut out when each candidate's time expired.

The Biden-Trump debates are expected to be among the most closely watched political events in recent history. Both men are highly polarizing figures, and the debates are likely to be filled with fireworks.

It remains to be seen how the debates will impact the 2024 election. However, they are sure to be a major event in the race for the White House.

In addition to the debates, Biden and Trump are expected to campaign heavily in the coming months. Biden has already announced plans to visit several key swing states, and Trump is expected to do the same.

The 2024 election is shaping up to be one of the most consequential in recent history. The outcome of the election will have a major impact on the future of the United States.
