Before November’s election, President Joe Biden unexpectedly made it clear on Friday that he would be open to a debate with former President Donald Trump.

“I am, somewhere. I don’t know when, but I am happy to debate him,” Biden told Howard Stern on his Sirius XM radio show when asked about the possibility.
In reference to a call Trump made previously to Georgia’s secretary of state after the 2020 election, Stern advised Biden that if he were on a stage next to Trump, he would tell the crowd, “Find me 11,000 votes so I can win the election.”
“What are we debating?” Stern rhetorically asked, adding that he was surprised so many Americans still supported Trump.
Back in 2022, Howard Stern admitted to not leaving his house for two years during the COVID-19 pandemic, even though he had been fully vaccinated and boosted against the virus. “For the first time in two years, I ventured out of the house,” he said. Stern has also previously expressed that he feels proud to be labeled “woke” by former fans who argue that he “sold out” his own authenticity for a larger paycheck.
“If woke means I can’t get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I’m for the vaccine, dude, call me woke as you f*king want,” Stern said prior.
On Friday, Biden agreed to join Stern for a live interview in Stern’s New York City studio.
Meanwhile, later on Friday, Trump replied to Biden’s remarks in a post on Truth Social.
“Crooked Joe Biden just announced that he’s willing to debate! Everyone knows he doesn’t really mean it, but in case he does, I say, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, an old expression used by Fighters,” Trump asserted.
Despite Trump’s insistence that they debate as soon as possible before November’s election, Biden and his campaign have mostly refrained from discussing the possibility of debates.
For the 2024 cycle, which starts in September, there will be three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate.
Trump has been confidently promising for weeks to confront Biden “any time, any place.”
