Chris LaCivita, Trump campaign senior adviser, quickly responded to Mr Biden’s remarks on social media, saying: ‘OK let’s set it up!’
US President Joe Biden has said he is willing to debate his presumptive Republican opponent Donald Trump later this autumn – his most definitive comment yet on the issue.Mr Biden’s comment came during an interview with the Sirius XM radio host Howard Stern, who asked him whether he would participate in debates against Mr Trump.So far, Mr Biden’s re-election campaign had declined to commit to participating in the debates, a hallmark of every general election presidential campaign since 1976.
The two men debated twice during the 2020 general election – a campaign year constrained significantly by Covid-19 restrictions – and Mr Biden was notably irritated by Mr Trump’s antics in the chaotic first debate that year.
His interview with Stern on Friday, which ran well over an hour, took on an informal and introspective tone and spanned topics that included Mr Biden’s upbringing, family, and his favourite president . The newspaper said that its publisher, AG Sulzberger, has urged senior Biden officials to agree to presidential interviews not just with the Times but with other news outlets.
