Twelve news organisations have called on Joe Biden and Donald Trump to participate in debates, stating that they are a long-standing tradition in presidential campaigns. While Trump has expressed his willingness to debate, Biden has not committed to it yet. The news organisations have emphasized the importance of the upcoming election and urged both candidates to publicly state their participation in the debates.
Twelve news organisations have urged presumptive presidential nominees Joe Biden and Donald Trump to agree to debates, saying they were a “rich tradition” that have been part of every campaign since 1976.
“If there is one thing Americans can agree on during this polarised time, it is that the stakes of this election are exceptionally high,” the organisations said in a joint statement. Asked on March 8 whether he would commit to a debate with Mr Trump, Mr Biden said, “it depends on his behaviour”. They cited the seven 1858 Illinois Senate debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, saying “certainly today’s America deserves as much”.
