Joe Biden's campaign agrees to 3 general election debates, slams Pres. Trump's team for seeking more
WASHINGTON -- Joe Biden's campaign has agreed to participate in three planned general election presidential debates in the fall, while slamming President Donald Trump's campaign’s push for more debates as an “effort to change the subject” and “create a distracting ‘debate about debates.’"Joe Biden’s campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon penned a letter, obtained by Fox News, to the Commission on Presidential Debates outlining the campaign’s expectations for the debate schedule this fall.“While I know no formal debate invitation will be issued to Joe Biden or Donald Trump until after the Party Conventions and the CPD’s invitation process, I wanted to set forth our views on how the Commission should proceed with planning for the fall debates,” Dillon wrote.“First, once formally invited, Vice President Biden will accept and participate in the Commission’s planned Presidential candidates’ debates for September 29, October 15, and October 22; his running mate will participate in the Vice Presidential candidates’ debate set for October 7,” she wrote. “We hope that President Trump and Vice President Pence will similarly indicate their willingness to participate.”She added: “Joe Biden looks forward to facing Donald Trump in a multi-debate series that the American people have come to expect from their leaders; we hope that President Trump would not break that tradition or make excuses for a refusal to participate.”Dillon went on to write that President Trump is “trailing badly in the polls” and is “desperate to change the subject from his failed leadership of the country.”“We are seeing reports that he has his own proposal for debates—after having said, just six months ago, that he might not want to participate at all in planned debates,” Dillon wrote. “No one should be fooled: the Trump campaign’s new position is a debate distraction.”Dillon said that the president “seems to be saying that he will debate if he can pick the moderators,” while arguing he is “afraid of facing questions from a neutral moderator.”“The Trump campaign proposal for elaborate negotiations is merely an effort to dodge fair even-handed debates,” she wrote.Dillon’s claims come after President Trump's campaign pressed for more general election debates, and tapped personal lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to lead the effort.On Monday, Tim Murtaugh, President Trump's 2020 communications director, ripped into Biden and his campaign over the letter, saying, “It’s pretty obvious that Joe Biden’s handlers are afraid to send their candidate out without a script and teleprompter handy.
