The comments came during an interview with Sirius XM radio host Howard Stern. Stern asked Biden if he would participate in the debate against Donald Trump.

I am somewhere. I don’t know what Biden said. But I’m happy to debate them. Until now, Biden’s re-election campaign had refused to commit to participating in the debate, a hallmark of every general election presidential campaign since 1976.

President Joe Biden himself has been vague as he said in March that whether he debated Trump depended on his behavior. After the issue, Chris LaCivita, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, told Ax to “Okay, install it!”

The Trump campaign had said the former president was willing to debate at any time, any place, and anywhere, although Trump did not participate in any Republican primary debates this cycle.

The Commission has already announced the dates and venues of the three general election debates to be held between the presidential candidates. on September 16 in San Marcos, Texas; October 1 in Petersburg, Virginia; and on October 9 in Salt Lake City. The only vice presidential debate is scheduled for September 25 in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Biden participates in relatively fewer press interviews than his predecessors, and his aides choose outlets and media avenues outside the traditional press corps that covers the president in Washington.

Biden’s interview with Stern took a controversial turn as the interview touched on topics that included the president’s upbringing, family, and his favorite president (Thomas Jefferson).

Less the shock jock of yore, Stern still has a loyal audience. And he is known for his conversational interview skills. He can turn conversations with celebrities into revealing discussions, often by asking things that others might be intimidated by, but not in confrontational ways.
