President Joe Biden, 81, will debate former President Donald Trump at least once, Biden campaign spokeswoman Arning Jo President Joe Biden, 81, will debate former President Donald Trump at least once, Biden spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday.
After months of speculation, Biden announced in April on the Howard Stern Show that he would debate the former president. “I am, somewhere. I am happy to debate him,” he said when asked if he would debate.
Trump immediately asked Biden to make good on his promise and suggested the event take place on live television at the Manhattan courthouse that Friday night.
Biden, who Special Counsel Robert Hur described as “an elderly man with a poor memory,” refused to take Trump up on the offer.
Speculation immediately grew that Biden did not mean what he said.
“Of course, he is not being truthful,” Outnumbered co-host Emily Compagno said. “I didn’t take it as any iota of actually meaning it. He [Biden] just says whatever comes out of his mouth. He agrees with whoever speaking around him.”
About one-third of Democrats doubt Biden’s mental fitness, a Harvard/Harris survey recently found. Another poll revealed 82 percent of Americans harbor concerns about his physical and mental health. Only about one-third of voters say Biden is physically or mentally fit to serve a second term, Quinnipiac found. “President Biden has made it very clear that he will be debating Donald Trump,” Elrod confirmed Wednesday.
The Trump campaign, meanwhile, demanded the Commission on Presidential Debates to schedule....

Probably a 45 minute debate where each candidate gets to read an opening statement for half that....
The first debate is Sept 16th at Texas State. RFK Jr has promised (threatened...) he will be there too.
If the Rs are smart they would mount a nation-wide advertising campaign to tell people to hold off voting until the debate is over.
A more subtle thing about the late date is that if one wants to vote by mail, in many states you will have to have requested a ballot before then. Good? Bad? who knows ...
Agree. The “debate” thing isn’t actually a debate anyway. It’s rigged theater.
Instead, Trump should challenge Biden to a televised game of Monopoly.
It’ll never happen.
And if my aunt had you-know-whats, she'd be my uncle.
Sure he will . . .
It’ll take until October to pump Joementia with enough Red Bull, amphetamines, and formaldehyde.

These are the hard-core leftists that want us dead.
Nah - let dementia Joe practice for weeks with an earpiece ... then jam any transmissions during the debate.
OCTOBER 16TH??? AFTER MAIL IN BALLOTING?
Ridiculous, should have one in mid September

ok, i just looked at the headline
He’ll show up at a nonexistent stage ?
I can only imagine the preparation Biden’s handlers will have to make for this brain-dead idiot to debate, especially someone as sharp as Trump.
Trump needs have total veto power over moderators, otherwise, he’ll get one who is Biden-friendly, will cut him off - and Trump will end up having to debate the moderator instead of Biden.
Isn't that always the case for Republicans.
Yes and why they should refuse to debate under those conditions.
The media will call them cowards, of course, but so what. I believe, like the Trump show trials, the American public understands the unfairness.
