In a bold move on Wednesday, President Joe Biden threw down the gauntlet, challenging former President Donald Trump to an earlier-than-expected debate, scheduled for June 27. The invitation, extended by CNN, marks a departure from the traditional fall debates and adds fuel to the already heated political landscape. Taking to social media, Biden announced his acceptance of CNN's invitation, reminding Trump of his previous declaration: "anywhere, any time, any place." This latest move comes amidst a back-and-forth between the two political heavyweights over the format and timing of potential debates. Biden's campaign had earlier urged Trump to participate in two presidential debates hosted by news organizations, bypassing the Commission on Presidential Debates' scheduled fall debates. Trump, quick to respond, expressed willingness for earlier debates and told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he is up for any moderator. In a direct-to-camera video released Wednesday, Biden took a jab at Trump's absence from recent debates, daring him to step up once again. Biden asserted, "Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again. Alluding to Trump’s court schedule, Biden said, “So let’s pick the dates, Donald – I hear you’re free on Wednesdays." Biden's campaign letter noted that the initial debate would probably occur following the conclusion of Trump's criminal hush-money trial. #Queer Up Politics
