– I will happily debate him, Biden says to the radio channel Sirius XM on Friday.
However, he says he does not know when this might happen.
Trump replies that he is ready to debate “Thug Joe anywhere, anytime”.
Trump, who accuses Biden of using the legal system to persecute him politically, is proposing to hold the debate at a campaign event in Michigan next week — or get it done tonight.
It cannot happen anywhere, according to Trump. The former president claims that he is “stuck in one of the many court cases that Biden started”.
– Actually, let’s take the debate to court tonight on national TV. I’m waiting, he says.
Earlier in the election campaign, Trump has refused to appear in debates against political opponents. He has not participated in debates in the race to become the Republican presidential candidate.
Last month, Biden said a possible debate against Trump “depends on his behavior.”
Debates between presidential candidates have for several decades been considered highlights of election campaigns. It has been an important arena for shaping the perception of the candidates’ personality and style, as well as political positions.
