Trump Campaign Wanted Earlier Debates, but Commission Is Sticking to Original Schedule

 

Former and potentially future President Donald Trump has made it known that he is eager to debate President Joe Biden. Against the advice of some fellow liberals and the non-answers from the Biden team, the current president said last Friday he was “happy to debate” Trump. That being said, the first debate won’t take place until September 16, at Texas State University in San Marcos. As Fox News reported, that date is in place despite the Trump campaign’s request for earlier ones.
