In a recent interview on "The Dan Bongino Show," former President Donald Trump expressed his desire for an immediate debate with President Joe Biden, as he continues to lead the race for the Republican Party's presidential nomination. However, Biden quickly dismissed the idea, stating that Trump had nothing else to do.

The exchange highlights both candidates' belief that they will be their party's respective nominees, despite the ongoing primary season. It also underscores their debate strategies thus far, with Trump having skipped every Republican primary debate and ignoring calls from his top remaining challenger, former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley. Similarly, Biden has not participated in any debates with the few long-shot Democratic contenders challenging him for the party's nomination.

Trump criticized Biden for declining an interview with the television network broadcasting the Super Bowl for the second consecutive year. While Biden participated in interviews during the Super Bowl in 2021 and 2022, a tradition followed by previous presidents, he skipped the interview last year and did not do it this year. Trump took this as an opportunity to attack Biden's speaking ability, claiming that he "can't do it because he can't talk."

Both campaigns have yet to officially comment on the recent remarks made by Trump. As the primary season continues, it remains to be seen if a debate between Trump and Biden will materialize. However, the possibility of a face-to-face showdown between the two candidates continues to be a topic of interest for the American public.

As the election cycle progresses, all eyes will be on these two frontrunners as they navigate the challenges and debates ahead. Their strategies and responses will play an important role in shaping their campaigns and ultimately the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.
