Trump campaign seeks debate in early September
By Tal Axelrod - 08/05/20 04:04 PM EDT
President Trump’s reelection campaign is pushing for a general election debate with former Vice President Joe Biden before millions of voters begin casting their ballots in early September.
Trump's campaign sent a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates on Wednesday making the request, saying if another debate isn't added, then the last of the three currently scheduled should be pushed up on the calendar.
The debates, currently slated between Sept. 29 and Oct. 22, will happen after a crush of early voting begins, leaving voters without an opportunity to see Trump and Biden in a head-to-head match-up, former New York City Mayor and campaign representative Rudy Giuliani argued in the letter.
The campaign wants the third debate to be moved to early September, before the first ballots are sent on Sept. 4 in North Carolina.
