Joe Biden and President Trump on Wednesday accepted an invitation from CNN for a debate on June 27.
Trump also accepted ABC News' invitation to debate Biden on September 10.
“It is my great honor to host the CNN debate against Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT in the history of the United States and a real threat to democracy, on June 27. Likewise, I accept the ABC News debate against Crooked Joe on September 10th. Thanks, DJT!” Trump said this on Truth Social on Wednesday morning.
“I have received and accepted an invitation from @CNN for a debate on June 27. Over to you, Donald. Like you said, anywhere, anytime, anywhere,” Biden said.

CNN reported:
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have both accepted an invitation from CNN to debate on June 27, a historically early showdown that will set the tone for the final months of the 2024 campaign.
“I have received and accepted an invitation from @CNN for a debate on June 27. Over to you, Donald. Like you said: anywhere, anytime, anywhere,” Biden said in a post on X.
Trump later told CNN's Kaitlan Collins: “The answer is yes, I will accept it.”
Biden mocked Trump earlier Wednesday, absurdly claiming that the former president had lost “two debates” to him in 2020.
“Make my day, buddy,” Biden said in a highly edited video posted to X.
Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. He has not appeared at a debate since.
Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again.
Well, make my day, friend. pic.twitter.com/AkPmvs2q4u
