In a fiery rally in Florida on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump issued a challenge to President Joe Biden, proposing a second debate with no moderators and adding a round or two of golf to the mix. This comes just days after Trump's initial invitation on July 5, which was met with little enthusiasm from the Biden campaign.

During the rally, Trump took aim at Biden's performance in the June 27 debate, calling it "painful to watch" and giving the incumbent president "the chance to redeem himself in front of the entire world." Trump urged Biden to prove to everyone that he has the qualities necessary to be president.

Promising a no-holds-barred face-off between the two contenders, Trump emphasized that the second debate would be a man-to-man showdown, free from the influence of moderators. He even hinted at the possibility of Senator Marco Rubio joining his ticket as a potential vice president.

Meanwhile, Biden has been actively engaged in various fronts, working to retain the support of his party and the public's trust in his ability to defeat Trump and secure another term as president. On Tuesday, he had a strong day, delivering impactful speeches on domestic issues and international relations at the NATO Summit in Washington, D.C.

However, the Biden campaign did not take Trump's challenge seriously, with spokesperson James Singer dismissing it as "deranged" antics. Singer pointed out that Trump had been out of the public eye for 12 days and accused him of inviting fictional serial killers to dinner and taunting Senator Rubio. Singer asserted that Biden is focused on leading America and defending the free world from the constant distractions of Trump's behavior.

Attempting to shift the narrative, the Biden campaign fired back at Trump, highlighting his track record on job creation, his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and allegations of unlawful behavior. The campaign accused Trump's Project 2025 of aiming to destroy the country rather than build it up.

Amidst the verbal sparring, it is worth noting that the trash talk surrounding a golf game between the two candidates first emerged during the June 27 debate. Trump challenged Biden to a golf match, testing whether he could "carry his own bag." In response, Biden dismissed Trump's claims about his golfing abilities as "a lie." The exchange escalated into a schoolyard-like back-and-forth, with Trump accusing Biden of childish behavior and Biden retorting that Trump himself displayed such behavior.

As the campaigns continue to clash, voters can anticipate a face-to-face debate between Trump and Biden on ABC scheduled for September 10 at 9 pm ET. Until then, the political world eagerly awaits further developments in the ongoing battle for the presidency.
