Advance Australia director Liz Storer says Presidential candidate Joe Biden cannot debate President Trump as it would be an “absolute bloodbath”.
It comes as questions continue to mount over Mr Biden’s mental faculties after continuous examples of the former vice president slipping up and forgetting his place during
