The Commission on Presidential Debates will stick to its original broadcasting schedule despite requests from former President Trump's campaign to host debates earlier.
The Commission on Presidential Debates will proceed with its original schedule despite requests from former President Trump's campaign for earlier events. The commission released its schedule in November last year, but Trump's camp has urged organizers to offer earlier and more frequent debates in a bid to outshine Biden onstage.
The commission added, 'The CPD is proceeding with production and broadcast plans at its four debate sites as also announced on November 20, 2023.' Radio personality Howard Stern hosted Biden last week for an interview in which the president confirmed his intentions to debate his Republican opponent. 'I am, somewhere, I don’t know when,' Biden replied. 'I'm happy to debate him.
Everyone knows he doesn’t really mean it, but in case he does, I say, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, an old expression used by Fighters,' the former president wrote on Truth Social. Earlier this year, the Trump campaign wrote a letter to the commission to request that the debate schedule be expanded and moved up on the calendar.
Prior to the Stern interview, the Biden camp remained coy about the president's willingness to debate, characterizing Trump's emphasis on the question as desperate. 'If I were him, I would want to debate me, too,' Biden told reporters in Nevada this year. 'He’s got nothing else to do.' The first presidential debate is scheduled for Sept. 16 at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. The second debate will be in Petersburg, Virginia, on Oct.
