President Joe Biden confirmed during an interview with Sirius XM radio host Howard Stern that he is open to debating his presumptive Republican opponent, Donald Trump, later this fall. This marks Biden's most definitive statement on the matter to date. The decision comes after Trump expressed readiness for a debate but questioned Biden's willingness.
Previously, Biden's reelection campaign had been non-committal about participating in debates, a longstanding tradition in general election presidential campaigns. Biden had also previously stated that his decision to debate Trump would depend on the former president's behavior.
