Mr Biden's team insisted the debates are held without a live audience, a move the Trump team are understood to have agreed to.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump have agreed to two head-to-head live televised debates in June and September. After months of speculation about whether the traditional presidential debates would go ahead, the US broadcaster CNN has announced that a primetime debate will take place at its global headquarters in Atlanta on 27 June at 9pm. ABC will host a second debate, scheduled for 10 September, just under two months before the election on 5 November.
Since then, he hasn't shown up for a debate,' President Biden said. 'Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal. I'll even do it twice. So let's pick the dates, Donald.' In a jibe at Mr Trump's court case in New York, which doesn't sit on Wednesdays, Mr Biden added: 'I hear you're free on Wednesdays.
