US President Joe Biden and his Republican rival Donald Trump yesterday accepted the invitation of CNN to face each other at the first pre-election debate on June 27, reported Reuters, quoted by BTA.
„Like you said: anywhere, anytime, anywhere,”, Biden said on social media, and for the first time laid out his terms to run alongside the former president on national television.
Trump said that Biden is the worst debater he has faced “I am ready and willing to debate with Crook Joe on the two proposed dates in June and September”, the former head of state wrote on social networks.
CNN has specified that the debate will take place in its studio in Atlanta, Georgia without an audience, and the host will be determined later. The presidential election in the state of Georgia is expected to be particularly contested.
The two candidates have also accepted ABC's invitation to a second debate on September 10, and a separate debate between the vice presidential candidates will take place in July, after the Republican National Convention.
