Establishment TV Networks Pressure Biden, 81, to Debate Trump
Wendell Husebø 10 Apr 2024
Establishment television networks prepared a public letter on Tuesday to pressure President Joe Biden, 81, to debate former President Donald Trump.
Biden remains noncommittal about debating Trump. In contrast, Trump is happy to confront Biden on his record, pledging in March to debate Biden anytime, anywhere, and anyplace.
Nearly three-fourths of voters believe if Biden skips the presidential debates, it shows “weakness,” a Fox News poll found.
“Biden won’t get away with the basement routine this time,” Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, told the New York Times on Tuesday.
In an “unusual” open letter endorsed by ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and Fox News, the networks urged Biden to debate Trump, citing the need to reduce polarization, according to a draft version obtained by the Times.

Our Joe is a crafty Old Fox. Could he be setting Trump up for a 'take down'?

Seems I recall a certain presidential candidate who refused to debate his primary opponents because he didn’t want to be confronted over his own record

Democrats will definitely use Trump's refusal to debate in the primaries as a reason not to debate in the general election. Also gives them a chance to re-open wounds from the GOP primary.

Sumthin' tells me the odds of presidential debates this time around... well... they ain't so good. I could be wrong.
And that's just fine with me.
I wouldn't watch them anyway (I don't watch tv news... ANY tv news)
