New information has emerged, and the argument’s specifics are unfolding at a breakneck pace.
CNN has announced that Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will preside over the first debate on June 27. Does it get much better for Joe Biden than this? Will he also receive the questions beforehand?
Reportedly, David Muir and Linsey Davis will be moderating the show on ABC.
Robert F. Kennedy has recently stated that he would qualify for the debate according to CNN’s rules, so there may be a snag in the plans, as I mentioned before. Yet Biden would prefer that he not be present. So, it is fair to wonder if Biden is trying to avoid the whole debate by claiming they are not following his terms.
He is trying to exert complete control over the environment, which explains the weakness of those definitions.
He probably assumed Trump would decline if it were CNN, giving him an opportunity to pretend he agreed even though Trump would decline. It appears, though, that Trump has called his bluff on the matter. How much of a weighted show Biden gets depends on whether Trump is able to stop it.
Additionally, Biden has declined Trump’s offer of a third debate on Fox.
While other members of the media attempted to ask Biden other questions during the meeting, Fox News’ Peter Doocy attempted to inquire about that. The first thing Biden did was grin, and, to be honest, he looked pretty evil.
“Why do not we discuss it again?” Doocy allegedly says.
Biden workers tried to drive the reporters out of the room, but Biden did react to a question about whether he was looking forward to debating with a trademark snippy remark, “I am, come on!”
If he can’t even cope with the media asking questions about a debate, how’s he going to manage a debate without a lot of help? The idea of performing for an audience overwhelms him, leading him to oppose it.
REPORTER: Are you looking forward to debating President Trump?
BIDEN (confused): "I am, come on!"

There should be a few more guidelines: participants must not use stimulants, and moderators, networks, or their agents must not provide prior assistance or ask questions. I genuinely doubt the fairness of either of these two debates. I am prepared for the media to spin them, assume they take place, and crown Joe the winner regardless of how poorly he performs, regardless of how many times he makes a blunder.
You can tell this is going to be completely unbiased since a CNN reporter seems to be trying to sell Biden items and promote the campaign’s web shop.
