Donald Trump has been egging Joe Biden on for months now about having a debate, and on Wednesday, Biden seemingly accepted the challenge.
In a pre-recorded, scripted video posted to social media, Biden proclaimed without evidence that “Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020.”
“Since then he hasn’t shown up for a debate. Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again,” Biden also said.
Biden then urged Trump to pick the dates.
“Well, make my day, pal, I’ll even do it twice. So let’s pick the dates, Donald – I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.”

What Biden left out of his video announcement was that his handlers have already suggested dates, or months at least. 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.
The campaign suggested a second debate in September ahead of the start of early voting in many states, as well as a vice presidential debate in late July after the Republican National Convention.

President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he is willing to debate Republican presidential rival Donald Trump twice before the Nov. 5 election — and Trump quickly agreed.
“Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then he hasn’t shown up for a debate,” Biden said in a video message posted on X. “Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again. Make my day pal. I’ll even do it twice.”
The Democrat president took a swipe at Trump’s legal troubles in the video with an oblique reference to the court schedule in Trump’s criminal trial in New York.
“So let’s pick the dates Donald. I hear you’re free on Wednesdays,” Biden said.
Biden’s campaign proposed that the first be held in late June and the second in September before early voting begins.
Trump responded quickly on his Truth Social account:
Crooked Joe Biden is the WORST debater I have ever faced – He can’t put two sentences together! Crooked is also the WORST President in the history of the United States, by far. It’s time for a debate so that he can explain to the American People his highly destructive Open Border Policy, new and ridiculous EV Mandates, the allowance of Crushing Inflation, High Taxes, and his really WEAK Foreign Policy, which is allowing the World to “Catch on Fire.” I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September. I would strongly recommend more than two debates and, for excitement purposes, a very large venue, although Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds – That’s only because he doesn’t get them. Just tell me when, I’ll be there. “Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!”

President Joe Biden agreed on Wednesday to debate former President Donald Trump in June and September.
“‘Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!’” Trump immediately responded on Truth Social.
Trump previously pressed Biden to debate him anywhere, anytime, and anyplace. The Trump campaign demanded the Commission on Presidential Debates schedule events early and often, citing the need to preempt early voting.
“Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate. Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal,” Biden said Wednesday on video. “I’ll even do it twice. So, let’s pick the dates, Donald. I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.”
