Pathetic Trump Already Trying to Weasel Out of Debating Biden
After agreeing to two debates with Biden, Donald Trump seems to be trying to set up an excuse to escape the whole thing.

Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that I hereby accept debating Crooked Joe Biden on FoxNews. The date will be Wednesday, October 2nd. The Hosts will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Wednesday afternoon.
Trumps campaign had announced that it had accepted an invitation from CNN to debate Biden on June 27as well as a second invite for a debate moderated by ABC on September 10. Biden, who had previously accepted an invitation from CNN, also agreed to take part in ABC Newss debate as well. But Trumps post seems to indicate that the former president is trying to alter the agreement on his own. Bidens campaign accused him of playing games.
Donald Trump has a long history of playing games with debates: complaining about the rules, breaking those rules, pulling out at the last minute, or not showing up at allwhich hes done repeatedly in all three cycles hes run for president, said Bidens reelection campaign chair, Jen OMalley Dillon, in a statement.
President Biden made his terms clear for two one-on-one debates, and Donald Trump accepted those terms. No more games. No more chaos, no more debate about debates. Well see Donald Trump on June 27th in Atlantaif he shows up, Dillion added.
