"Trump Campaign Urges Earlier and More Presidential Debates with Biden"

Former President Donald Trump's campaign is calling for more debates with President Joe Biden, arguing that the current schedule is inadequate as one million Americans will have already cast their ballots by the time of the first debate on Sept. 16. Trump's team wants the debates to start earlier and for there to be more than the proposed three debates. However, it remains unclear if the debates will even go ahead, as Biden has not committed to showing up so far. Trump's campaign also accused the Commission on Presidential Debates of working to advance Biden's candidacy and called for fairness in the selection of moderators.
