Karl Rove, a former adviser to George W. Bush, stated on Fox News Channel’s “America Reports” that President Joe Biden agreed to debate former President Donald Trump due to his declining numbers. Rove expressed his surprise that Biden finally decided to participate in debates, as it seemed like he was avoiding them before. Rove emphasized the importance of debates for the American public and predicted that it would be a beneficial experience for the viewers.
Rove mentioned that the upcoming debates between Biden and Trump would be reminiscent of a traditional debate format from the 1960s, with a studio setting and no audience. He believed that eliminating the audience would lead to a more serious conversation between the candidates and the moderators. Rove also highlighted the distractions and disruptions caused by a large audience during debates.
In conclusion, Rove expressed his support for the shift towards a more focused and meaningful debate setting. He emphasized the need for a serious conversation between the candidates and moderators without the influence of a large audience.
