This is the guy who read “pause” a few days ago off his teleprompter.

JUST IN: President Biden calls out Donald Trump and appears to accept Trump’s challenge to debate.
This should be fun.
“Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020, and since then he hadn't shown up for debate.”

Here’s what Fox News reported:
Former President Trump accepted President Biden’s offer to debate him on television in June and September.
After Trump said he was in, Biden said in a post on X that he “received and accepted an invitation” from CNN for a debate on June 27.
“Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place,” Biden wrote.
When asked for comment, Trump told Fox News Digital that he will accept and “will be there.” The Republican added that he is “looking forward to being in beautiful Atlanta.”
The proposal was initially outlined by the Biden-Harris campaign in a letter to the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates on Wednesday morning. It abandoned the decades-old tradition of three fall meetings organized by the debate commission. Trump afterward told Fox News Digital that he’d accept the timeline proposed by the incumbent Democrat.
“Crooked Joe Biden is the worst debater I have ever faced – he can’t put two sentences together,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “Crooked is also the worst president in the history of the United States, by far.”
Tough talking Joe Biden challenges Trump to TWO debates.
This is the same guy that read “pause” from the teleprompter and stopped to shit his pants in front of the media.

Per CNN:
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.
“I’ve received and accepted an invitation from @CNN for a debate on June 27th. Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place,” Biden said in a post on X.
Trump later told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, “The answer is yes, I will accept.”
The news is the latest development in a quickly escalating tit-for-tat over debates between the two political rivals. Biden’s campaign earlier called on Trump to join him for two presidential debates hosted by news organizations and formally informed the Commission on Presidential Debates that the president will not participate in its previously scheduled fall debates. The former president quickly said he was on board with earlier debates and told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he would accept any moderator.
