President Joe Biden, 81, announced on the Howard Stern Show that he is open to debating former President Donald Trump. This comes after Biden had previously been noncommittal about facing off against Trump, who had expressed his willingness to debate Biden anytime, anywhere.
Despite pressure from establishment television networks in April, Biden had not definitively agreed to debate Trump. However, a Fox News poll found that nearly three-fourths of voters believe that if Biden were to skip the presidential debates, it would signal weakness.
During his interview with Stern, Biden stated that he was willing to debate Trump, prompting Trump to reiterate on Truth Social that he was ready to debate Biden “ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE.” Trump even suggested specific dates and locations for the debate.
Biden’s statement about debating Trump came amidst a series of outlandish claims made during the interview, including exaggerated anecdotes about his past. Special Counsel Robert Hur has referred to Biden as “an elderly man with a poor memory,” casting doubt on the veracity of Biden’s statements.
Following Biden’s announcement about the debate, pundits on Fox News raised doubts about the truthfulness of his statements. Wendell Husebo, a political reporter with Breitbart News, and former GOP War Room Analyst, provides analysis and updates on the political landscape.
