Joe Biden’s campaign is refusing President Donald Trump’s request to take part in more than three debates ahead of the general election in November.
Jen O’Malley Dillon, the former vice president’s campaign manager, made the announcement on Monday in a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, as first reported by the Washington Post. In the letter, O’Malley Dillon informed the commission that Biden would only take part, as is custom, in three presidential debates.
“Joe Biden looks forward to facing Donald Trump in a multi-debate series that the American people have come to expect from their leaders; we hope that President Trump would not break that tradition or make excuses for a refusal to participate,†O’Malley Dillon wrote.
The announcement comes as Trump, who has fallen behind Biden in the polls amid the coronavirus pandemic and in the wake of national protests over George Floyd’s death, had made an aggressive push for more debates, with less formal rules. Trump, in particular, sought to decrease the role of moderators, allowing each candidate more time to opine on their agenda for the presidency.
