The US president has so far not entertained the prospect of a debate with Mr Trump, saying it would depend 'on his behaviour'.
Joe Biden has said he would be open to debate his presumptive Republican opponent Donald Trump ahead of November's presidential election. The US president was speaking to radio host Howard Stern on Sirius XM, who asked Mr Biden if he would debate Mr Trump, to which he said: 'I am, somewhere. I don't know when. But I'm happy to debate him.' His answer is the clearest indication Mr Biden has given on the prospect of a clash between the two, having evaded the idea so far.
He also gave two more evenings to stage the debate as he will not be attending court proceedings during this time. The pair faced each other twice before the 2020 election, with a standout moment during the first debate as an exasperated Mr Biden said: 'Will you shut up man', as Mr Trump spoke over him as he tried to answer a question about the Supreme Court.
