President Joe Biden's campaign calls on former President Donald Trump to participate in two presidential debates hosted by news organizations. Biden has informed the Commission on Presidential Debates that he will not participate in the debates scheduled in the fall and has proposed new debate dates. Biden criticized Trump for avoiding debates after losing two to him in 2020 and noted that the former president seems interested in debating again. The Biden campaign proposed changing the debate schedule, citing misalignment with early voting timelines, the commission's focus on spectacle over substance, and their failure to enforce rules in 2020 debates.
