Twelve news organizations are pushing for Joe Biden and Donald Trump to face off in debates during the 2024 campaign. While Trump is ready to spar, Biden remains hesitant. The stakes are high, and the American people deserve to see the candidates go head-to-head. The pressure is on for both campaigns to commit to the debates set by the Commission on Presidential Debates. Trump's team is eager to engage, citing historical debates as a precedent. However, the Republican National Committee's decision to pull out of commission-sponsored forums adds a twist. Trump's camp wants assurances of fairness and an earlier debate schedule. Biden's response remains elusive, leaving the door open for speculation. Trump's recent rally antics highlight the urgency for a debate showdown. The call for debates is gaining momentum, with more news organizations and networks joining the chorus. The anticipation is building, and the American public is eager for a clash of ideas on the national stage.
