"Media Outlets Unite in Urging Biden and Trump to Commit to Presidential Debates"

CBS News and 11 other major news organizations have urged President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump to commit to debates during the 2024 campaign season. The news organizations emphasized the importance of candidates debating their visions for the nation before the American people. While Trump's campaign managers have expressed willingness to debate, Biden has indicated that his decision depends on Trump's behavior. The call for commitment to debates comes amidst the backdrop of the 2024 election, with the Republican National Committee having previously voted to ban future GOP presidential nominees from participating in debates put on by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates.
