Barring any major surprises, the two men will face each other in November's presidential election, a rematch of the 2020 election.
Donald Trump, Republican candidate for the US election, said on Wednesday he is ready to debate his Democratic rival, President Joe Biden, “anywhere, anytime.” “It is important for the well-being of our country that Joe Biden and I discuss critical issues for the United States and the American people,” the former president said on his network Truth Social. “That’s why I demand that debates take place anywhere and at any time,” he assured.
After their overwhelming victories in their parties' primaries, barring any major surprises, the two men will face each other in the presidential election in November – a rematch to the 2020 election. But according to the polls, this duel is between a 77-year-old former president and the 81-year-old incumbent hardly inspires voters. To win in an extremely polarized country, Joe Biden and Donald Trump must both mobilize their base and attract as many independent voters as possible in a handful of undecided states. President Biden is struggling in the polls and will try to convince millions of Americans of his vision for the country during a key policy speech to Congress on Thursday. A speech that Donald Trump promised to “correct” live.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump faced off in 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 and accused Democrats, without evidence, of “stealing” the election.
