President Joe Biden said he will debate former President Donald Trump ahead of this year’s election, though he said he didn’t know in what format.

“I am, somewhere. I don’t know when,” Biden said when asked by interviewer Howard Stern whether he planned to debate his predecessor. “I’m happy to debate him.”

It’s the first time Biden has said explicitly he would debate Trump in this election cycle. Previously, he has equivocated, saying it would depend on Trump’s behavior.

Trump hurt himself in the first debate in 2020 and Biden pretty much finished him off right then and there. It was a major factor in his capturing R ticket splitters and will be again IMO.

Not because I don't see the purpose of it, though I don't.

I just don't think TSF's lucidity will hold up until then. Summers are stressful on dementia patients. The heat, humidity. Vocabulary is diminishing as the months roll by.

but apparently that doesn't count for sht in America, so instead Biden sort of has to debate him because of morons who'll think Biden weak if he doesn't.

Biden knows this.

While we're at it, how bout we make embezzlers bank CEOs, and incompetent doctors the heads of hospitals.

We wouldn't even trust a fuck-up barber with trimming our hair, but MAGA wants to put their criminal clown back in the Oval Office.

They're 'special' that way.
