Taking a dig at the former president, Biden said: “Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020, and now he wants to debate me again.”
“Well, make my day pal,” the Commanded-in-chief continued.
Alluding to Trump’s current criminal trial in New York, which is on break every Wednesday, 81-year-old POTUS quipped, “I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.”
The Trump campaign had long challenged Biden for debate ahead of the elections.
Trump leads Biden in 5 swing states
Former US President Donald Trump is counting on this year’s presidential elections to swoop in for Term 2. The latest New York Times, Siena College, and the Philadelphia Inquirer poll on Monday morning revealed that the ex-president is leading in five of six key swing states.
Meanwhile, Biden’s chances of a new term have been undermined despite months of campaigning. Reportedly, young and non-white voters have particularly expressed their discontentment over his handling of the economy and the war in Gaza.
The survey shows that Trump is currently dominating the head-to-head presidential rivalry with Biden, favourably winning the registered voters’ support in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Biden led the poll in merely one state – Wisconsin. It was also noted that all six states favoured Biden in 2020.
After his State of the Union address in March, Biden gained a sudden surge of support. However, his stance on pressing issues like immigration, cost of living and Israel’s occupation in Gaza has seemingly pushed voters’s desire for change.
