Biden Campaign Chair Cedric Richmond appeared on FOX News and claimed “it would be unfair for Joe to have to go one-on-one with Trump in a debate. First of all, Trump is a racist. Joe is too polite to bring this up. That’s why we need the moderators, the New York Times editors, or some other widely respected authority to interject as often as needed to remind viewers of this fact.”
“Second, Joe isn’t as sharp as Trump,” Richmond pointed out. “He can’t always remember his talking points. He needs a ‘handicap’ like they have in bowling leagues to try to even out the competition. Allowing the moderators or someone else to fill in the gaps will help level the playing field. There is a precedent for doing this. Back in the 2012 debate between Mitt Romney and President Obama moderator Candy Crowley intervened during the debate to rescue the younger, very able and articulate President during what could otherwise have been an awkward moment for him. Romney never complained about that. So why should Trump complain about a similar intervention when Joe gets hung up trying to remember key planks of his platform?”
In related news, Biden snagged an endorsement from 1980 & 1984 US Communist Party vice-presidential candidate and winner of the International Lenin Peace Prize Angela Davis. Davis says that “Biden may have some serious mental deficiencies, but he has indicated he supports key planks of the Communist Party’s agenda for America. He has come out in favor of defunding the police. This demonstrates that he will fulfill his promise to rip the roots out of this country. Since that’s what communists want to do, we’ll vote for him in November.”

They have also demanded nap times, tapioca, and Matlock reruns.
I am waiting to hear the flimsy excuses the Biden campaign will dream up to avoid the debates.
This is the strategy they will use to avoid any debate. They will have poison pill conditions. MSM will give Biden cover by saying Trump refused to debate because of the “reasonable” conditions Biden is willing to accept.
You are probably right.
