On Wednesday, March 6, former US President Donald Trump challenged the head of the republic Joe Biden to a debate before the November elections, despite the fact that he had previously avoided a number of Republican primaries. This was reported by Bloomberg.


"For the good of our country, it is important that Joe Biden and I discuss issues that are vital to the United States and its citizens," Trump said, adding, "I call for a debate anytime, anywhere, any way."


During the election campaign, Trump avoided five debates with political opponents, which drew criticism from former candidate Chris Christie, who called Trump a "chicken and a loser" in his ad.


During the campaign, the 77-year-old Trump criticized Biden for making verbal mistakes and stumbling while walking. Although the former president himself is not immune to mistakes during his speeches: he recently confused Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.


"I know Donald Trump wants attention and is trying to expand his popularity beyond his MAGA base," said Biden campaign spokesman Michael Tyler: "If he's so eager to see President Biden on prime time, he doesn't have to wait! He can join the tens of millions of Americans tuning in to watch the State of the Union tomorrow night."
