Joe Biden: I'm ready for a debate with Donald Trump

United States President Joe Biden said Friday that he would participate in a debate with Donald Trump, his Republican opponent for the November election.

"I am ready. I don't know when," said the Democratic president in an interview with host Howard Stern. "I would happily argue with him."

These were President Biden's clearest statements on the possibility of a presidential debate. President Biden had shown no willingness to debate Mr. Trump, saying last month that doing so would depend on the former president's behavior.

In recent weeks, Mr. Trump has challenged Mr. Biden to face him in a debate, saying he is ready to debate with the current Democratic President "anytime and anywhere."

Earlier this month, two top advisers to Mr. Trump's campaign team sent a letter to an independent commission that normally sets such events, asking to speed up the debate calendar and hold more than the usual three. .

Dozens of media organizations have called on the candidates to publicly commit to a debate in front of each other.

The statement suggested that the costs of hosting debates for the current race be borne by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, as has been the case in every election cycle since 1988.

Mr. Biden leads in terms of support from registered voters, at the level of 41 percent against Mr. Trump's 37 percent, according to a poll conducted by the polling company Ipsos and the news agency Reuters, earlier this month.
