President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have both accepted an invitation from CNN to debate on June 27, a historically early showdown that will set the tone for the final months of the 2024 campaign.

In a post to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump accepted the revised schedule: “I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September,” adding that he would “strongly recommend” more than the two debates proposed. A senior Trump adviser told CNN they are “ready to debate” Biden, and reviewing the terms but are eager for an onstage match-up.

Why in Holy Hell would he agree to go on CNN to debate?

Is Whoopi Goldberg going to moderate? Or did Joy Behar get that gig?

Biden can’t even read a teleprompter without screwing up so I doubt that getting the questions before the debate will end up helping him all that much.

[Flaming Conservative]

Does he not know it will be rigged against him? CNN is notorious for gaslighting and falsely reporting on him.

Trump’s townhall on CNN was fine

ABC is just as bad...they are just gonna set him up for failure. Trump is not as smart as he thinks he is...

[Frank Drebin]

This will be good.

I’d love to see Trump say something funny to Biden that will trip him up, and would be impossible to prepare for.

Like, Joe, in all seriousness, why were you keeping top secret documents near the corvette, in Chinatown, at the university office, and in Hunter’s cocaine stash.

Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, both having TDS, will moderate. Trump constantly bashes “fake news” and now somehow thinks a debate moderated by fake news moderators in a fake news studio with all the conditions set by the DNC - will somehow benefit him. Who is advising Trump??!!

I wonder how much Cocaine and Speed Biden’s handlers will Jack him up with
before both debates?

I guess Bite-me found a body double that can act confused but is actually sentient

[Gaffer]

This is a mistake. I don’t need a Trump/Biden debate that is rigged and hosted by administration lickspittle CNN to make my mind up. Trump all the way

[Dan in Wichita]

I would like to see a debate where both candidates get to choose one moderator. Both moderators would get to ask questions of both candidates. That would be worth watching.

Instead, we always get biased moderators whose instructions are to help the Democrat. Questions will be mostly on race, climate change, and abortion.

This is not good news.

Both Trump and Biden are being set up.

The Democrats are desperate to replace Biden but Biden is refusing to leave.

Biden egotistical and thinks he can take on Trump but he will probably be embarrassed and forced to withdraw from the race.

[plain talk]

“Why ... would he agree to go on CNN to debate?”

paraphrasing ... any debate is a good debate ... so I took what I could get ...

Questions will be mostly on race, climate change, and abortion.

And education (college loan forgiveness).

= = =

Super! Using their methods.

Joe will make some statement that has 5-10 lies in it.

Trump is supposed to counter all 10 of them in a few seconds.

A La Obama.

Maybe Trump starts holding up fingers, one for each lie.

1-2-3-4-5-...

Which lie do you want me to address?
