    Biden was the presumptive nominee at the time he originally agreed to it, and you’re right, it shouldn’t and doesn’t matter.

    It is especially odd that his counter-proposed date ia before the previously agreed on date, which completely undermines the already weak claim that the change in candidate somehow inconveniences the Trump campaign.

    I mean, it does, but only in the sense that the new crew are running circles around Trump and Co.

      To be fair, he was okay with the format when he was the least sundowned participant. Now that he’s the most it’s not in his favor.

      The person you’re replying to is the first I’ve seen point out that Trump didn’t agree to debate Kamala when someone says he did, so obviously some people think it matters since it’s not actually a true statement but keeps being repeated.

      I want to see both debates myself. Let each fight while the other has advantage.

      I figured they want her to look bad by not showing up first. I’m actually not sure how she can avoid the Fox debate without looking like she’s avoiding him.
