Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign is committing to participate in three debates in the fall, while President Trump’s campaign is pushing for four events.
Biden’s campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dilllon, confirmed in a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates sent on Monday and obtained by The Washington Post that the former vice president would debate Trump on the dates previously scheduled by the commission -- Sept. 29, Oct. 15 and Oct. 22.
Biden’s running mate, who has not yet been announced, will debate Vice President Mike Pence on Oct. 7, O’Malley Dilllon also confirmed in the campaign’s first official communication with the commission.
“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.
