Former President Donald Trump, who refused to participate in debates with his opponents for the Republican Party’s nomination for the 2024 presidential elections, said this Monday (5) that he wants to debate Joe Biden immediately.

“I would like to debate him [Biden] now, because we should debate. We should debate for the good of the country”, said the businessman on a radio program by conservative commentator Dan Bongino.
With that, Joe Biden was then asked by reporters during a trip to Las Vegas on Monday about Trump’s speech, responding: “If I were him, I would want to debate me too. He has nothing to do.”

Furthermore, although he is the clear favorite in the Republican party’s internal race to face Biden in the November 5 election, Trump has not yet confirmed the nomination and has refused Republican opponent Nikki Haley’s request for a debate.
It is worth remembering that Trump and Biden debated twice during the 2020 election. A third debate was canceled after Trump tested positive for Covid-19 and refused to participate in a virtual event.
Traditionally, there are usually three presidential debates in the United States.
