Following Super Tuesday victories, Trump calls for debate with Biden
Newsy
Trump's call for debate was short on specifics. President Biden has already resisted calls from within his own party to debate in the primaries.
In a post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump called for debates against President Joe Biden, his anticipated rival for the 2024 presidential election.
"It is important, for the good of our country, that Joe Biden and I debate issues that are so vital to America, and the American people. Therefore, I am calling for debates, anytime, anywhere, anyplace," Trump wrote.
Trump said the debates could be run by the Democratic National Committee, which he alleges is corrupt, or by the Commission on Presidential Debates, a nonpartisan nonprofit that has sponsored all of the presidential debates since 1988.
But no incumbent president has stood for a primary debate, going all the way back to President Gerald Ford.
In 2023 before the field narrowed, Democratic challengers to President Biden called for primary debates, which did not take place.
