Biden and Trump agree on two election debates

The first will be held on CNN television on 27 June, while the second on 10 September at the ABC broadcaster.

The quick agreement between them comes after Biden, the Democrat, announced he would not participate in election debates sponsored by the non-party commission, which has organised them for more than three decades.

Biden's campaign proposed that debates between him and the alleged republican candidate be organised directly by the media, and that the first debate be held in late June and the second in September.

Trumpi said on his social network, the Social Truth, that it is <x0-fertile and agrees to debate” with Biden in the proposed times.

A few hours later, Biden said he accepted CNN's invitation to a debate on June 27th, adding: “Here, Donald. Like you said: anywhere, anytime, anywhere”.

Trump told Fox Digital News he accepted the invitation: “I'll be there”

But, the parties appear to have major disagreements about key issues on how to organise debates, including about reconciliation for modifiers and regulations. Such issues had prompted the establishment of the commission for presidential debates in 1987.
