In a decisive move, President Biden's team announced that they are closing the door to any additional debates with former President Trump for the upcoming 2024 presidential election. They emphasized that the two scheduled debates, both of which have been agreed upon by both sides, will be the only matchups.
"The debate about debates is over," Team Biden firmly stated to NBC News. "No more games."
The two scheduled debates include an event on June 27 to be hosted by CNN, and a showdown on September 10 with ABC News. Former President Trump, known for his enthusiasm towards debates, surprised many by announcing on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he had "accepted a fourth Presidential Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, this time with NBC & Telemundo." He highlighted the importance of Republicans winning the support of the Hispanic community.
NBC News, which missed the opportunity to host the first debates, reportedly scrambled to find a way to join the fray. Semafor reported that the network had been in talks with the Biden campaign regarding a possible third event, but no agreement was reached.
While both campaigns have signaled their openness to a vice-presidential debate, the specific details remain unresolved. President Biden accepted a proposal from CBS News to host the vice-presidential debate, while former President Trump expressed his preference for Fox News to air the contest.
As the 2024 election approaches, anticipation is building around the two scheduled debates, with Americans eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see the candidates face off on critical issues. With President Biden's team firmly closing the door to any further debates with former President Trump, it seems these two matchups will be the only chance to witness the candidates directly engage with each other on a national stage.
