Trump Campaign Pushes for More Presidential Debates ‘Much Earlier’
The top two advisers to former President Donald Trump are urging the Commission on Presidential Debates to add more debates to the schedule and to hold them earlier in the election cycle—the latest move in the campaign’s attempt to pressure President Joe Biden to agree to a public showdown.
For the past couple of weeks, Trump has lit up Truth Social with posts calling out Biden for not yet agreeing to a debate and has often used his rallies to pressure the president to face off against him.
The letter, sent by Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles—his de facto campaign managers—is the latest example of Trump and his campaign trying to highlight that while Trump wants to debate Biden, the president has yet to agree to one.
