As the US presidential election approaches, campaign activity is expected to intensify. The two candidates, Democratic incumbent Joe Biden and Republican challenger Donald Trump, have agreed to two televised debates in June and September. This will be their first appearance in four years. The last time the two faced off before the 2020 polls, Trump continued to interrupt Biden.
This time, Biden wants to set ground rules. Trump’s camp wants a grand venue with a large live audience. These final details have not yet been agreed. But if the race gets tense, this collision could make a big difference. The incumbent is probably hoping that by overcoming this challenge, he can take the lead. For now, Trump appears to be one step ahead, despite all his legal problems.

This time, Biden wants to set ground rules. Trump’s camp wants a grand venue with a large live audience. These final details have not yet been agreed. But if the race gets tense, this collision could make a big difference. The incumbent is probably hoping that by overcoming this challenge, he can take the lead. For now, Trump appears to be one step ahead, despite all his legal problems.
The former president avoided debates with Republican candidates, but responded to Biden’s offer on social media by saying, “I’m ready to rumble!!!” One of Trump’s tactics is that Biden himself is older and It is to portray Biden as too old for the job, even though he is. This age discrimination sounds strange since they are not that young, but the age criterion is simply that you must be over 35 years old, and few people seem to question this.
