On Tuesday, ex-President Trump reiterated his request for President Joe Biden to engage in a debate, asserting it would benefit the nation.
“For the good of our now failing Nation, and in order to inform the American people of what is going on in our Country, we must immediately have a full scale debate between Crooked Joe and Honest Don,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social network.
“I’m ready to go, ANY TIME, ANY PLACE!” the likely Republican 2024 presidential candidate said, issuing the challenge as part of a longer acerbic takedown of the Biden campaign.
Last week, Trump reiterated his call for a debate with Biden, emphasizing its significance for the nation, according to Breitbart News.
When questioned by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment on the issue.
“Now that the field is down to two, is President Biden going to commit to a debate with Donald Trump? he asked.
“That’s something for the campaign to speak to,” she replied.
According to The Hill, the Biden campaign stated in December that it had not discussed the possibility of a general election debate with Trump.
Last week, the incumbent in his eighties remarked that the prospect of a debate between the leading candidates would hinge on Trump’s “conduct.”
