In a joint statement, twelve major news organizations, including CBS News, called on President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump to commit to debates during the 2024 White House campaign.
“If there is one thing Americans can agree on during this polarized time, it is that the stakes of this election are exceptionally high,” the organizations said in the joint statement.
“Amidst that backdrop, there is simply no substitute for the candidates debating with each other, and before the American people, their visions for the future of our nation.”
But in a December interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Trump suggested he’d be up for 10 debates with Mr. Biden.
He spoke to the crowd from one podium and left the other empty except for a placard reading, "Anytime.
President Biden, when asked on March 8 if he would commit to a debate with Trump, said that “it depends on his behavior.”
The president previously addressed a potential debate in early February while visiting Las Vegas.
