Biden proposes two debates with Trump in June and September

President Biden’s campaign on Wednesday proposed two debates with former President Trump, bucking the Commission on Presidential Debates and potentially setting the stage for a face-off as soon as next month.

The Biden campaign called for the first debate to take place in late June, after Biden returns from the Group of Seven (G-7) Summit in Europe and after Trump’s hush money trial in New York will likely have concluded.

Trump has said he would debate Biden “any time, any place, anywhere” in an effort to get the president to commit to joining him on stage ahead of November’s rematch of the 2020 election.
