Former President Trump on Thursday challenged President Biden to Another debatethis time without moderators.
In a Truth Social post, Trump called for a “no holds barred” and “all-out” discussion with Biden about the future of the country.
“Let Joe explain why he wants open borders, with millions of people and many violent criminals from unknown parties coming into our once great nation, or why he wants men to participate in women’s sports, or mandates ALL ELECTRIC VEHICLES within five years, or why he allowed INFLATION to RUN OUT OF CONTROL, destroying the people of our country, and so much more.

“It would also prove, under great pressure, his ‘competence’, or lack thereof. It would also be another test for me. It would be a great evening, just the two of us, one on one, in a good old-fashioned debate, just like it used to be. ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYWHERE!”
A spokesperson for President Biden’s campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Trump’s eagerness to face Biden again is not a surprise, as the Democratic president is widely seen as having lost their first meeting of the 2024 race.
The 81-year-old incumbent president’s hesitation and halting responses during the CNN presidential debate in Atlanta sparked widespread panic among Democrats and prompted calls from pundits, editorial writers and some party donors for Biden to step aside in favor of a younger, more capable standard-bearer.
So far, Biden has steadfastly resisted calls to step aside. During his remarks at a White House Fourth of July celebration, he told the audience: “I’m not going anywhere.”

White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients reportedly held an all-staff meeting on Wednesday to urge team members to set aside the “noise” and focus on the task of governing.
While Zients acknowledged that the days since the Atlanta showdown between Biden and Trump have been challenging, the chief of staff highlighted to White House aides the Democratic administration’s accomplishments and record and said governing will only become more crucial once the campaign season heats up, particularly after the July Fourth holiday.
