"Trump Campaign Urges Early 2024 Debates, Taunts Biden with Empty Lectern"

Former President Donald Trump's reelection campaign has formally requested the Commission on Presidential Debates to move up its fall schedule, potentially pressuring President Joe Biden into earlier debates. Trump is willing to debate anytime, anyplace, and anywhere, while the Biden campaign has not yet committed to any debates. Trump previously refused to debate Republican opponents during the GOP primary but is now advocating for early debates against Biden. The Commission has scheduled three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate in September and October, with the first presidential debate set for Sept. 16.
