WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden's 2024 campaign on Wednesday challenged Republican nominee Donald Trump to two debates hosted in a television studio ahead of the November election — a departure from the traditional system that has been used.
Trump quickly responded, saying he disagrees with Biden's call to not debate in front of a crowd, but accepting the proposed dates and indicating he, too, was eager to debate.
Later in the morning, Biden said on X that he had accepted an invitation from CNN to participate in a debate on June 27.
"Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place," Biden said.
Biden's campaign chair, Jen O'Malley Dillon, wrote in a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) — the organization that has coordinated presidential debates for decades — that Biden won't participate in any of its debates and will instead only do those hosted directly by news outlets.
