The two men must, barring any major surprises, face each other in the presidential election in November, a return match of the 2020 election.
Donald Trump, Republican candidate for the American election, said on Wednesday that he was ready to debate with his Democratic rival, President Joe Biden, “anywhere anytime”. “It is important for the sake of our country that Joe Biden and I debate issues that are critical to the United States and the American people”said the former president on his Truth Social network. “This is why I call for debates to be held, anywhere, anytime”he assured.
After their overwhelming victories in the primaries of their parties, the two men must, barring any major surprises, face each other in the presidential election in November – a rematch of the 2020 election. But, according to the polls, this duel between a former president 77-year-old and an 81-year-old incumbent hardly excites voters. To win, in an extremely polarized country, Joe Biden like Donald Trump will have to both mobilize their bases and attract as many independent voters as possible in a handful of undecided states. President Biden, struggling in the polls, will try to convince millions of Americans of his vision for the country during a major general policy speech Thursday before Congress. A speech that Donald Trump promised to “to correct” live.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump faced each other during a series of debates in the fall of 2020. The Democrat, former vice-president of Barack Obama, won the presidential election. But Donald Trump never conceded defeat, accusing, without evidence, the Democrats of having “stolen” the election.
