Jen Psaki predicts Trump will bail on debate with Biden’s rules

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki predicted that former President Donald Trump may bail from the debates with President Joe Biden after agreeing to most of the guidelines set by the Biden campaign.

Biden and Trump agreed to two debates on Wednesday after Biden issued guidelines that he would accept to face off against the former president. Psaki told the Pod Save America podcast on Wednesday that she is “still a skeptic” that the pair will debate and predicted how she thinks Trump could back out.

“Trump could certainly say, ‘I never agreed to those specifics in the letter,’ and he probably will, and that’s how this all falls apart, even though he’s basically said, ‘I would debate him anytime,'” Psaki said.

She also said the move to be forthright with guidelines for the conditions Biden would accept and to challenge Trump with a video was an “interesting play” but also put the Trump campaign “on their back feet” in having to agree to the stipulations quickly.

“I think, internally, they knew that at some point, this is going to hit a head, and they were either going to be ahead of it or be responding to Trump,” Psaki said.

“So it was smart in that sense. I think it was also smart that they put out this letter of their criteria, which basically — I mean, none of this is on the level, this entire election in many ways, in terms of how Trump is operating — but it did put the Trump team on their back feet where they had to just agree to that. If they tried to litigate things on there, they would have looked a little weak,” she added.

Maj. Bill Martin:
He should, but he won't.

0% chance CNN and ABC don't feed Biden the questions ahead of time so his handlers can come up with scripted answers.

Without a note card or teleprompter Biden will screw it up...I don't think this will ever happen, there will be some excuse why he can't..

They'll ask him easy questions, won't push him, and probably limit it to an hour or so.  Expectations will be rock bottom, so anything he does better than that can only help him.  And the press will be going after Trump hard.

One thing I hope Trump doesn't do is call him names and make fun of him..I think that will backfire big time on Trump.
