Not only is there no need for them to debate, it would be grossly irresponsible and arguably breaching his oath of office for Biden to debate him. To do so would acknowledge Trump as a legitimate candidate, and whatever law SCOTUS makes up, he isn't per the Constitution Biden swore an oath to uphold

Moreover, debating Trump gives an immense platform for his bigoted, violence-inciting lies. Remember the last time they debated, when he told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by"? The Commander in Chief has not only the right but the duty to refuse to platform stochastic terrorism.

Lastly, to demand Biden debate Trump is to demand the President put himself in a room with a man who is facing trial for a violent coup attempt against his Presidency. A man who knowingly endangered his life by violating covid protocols when they last debated. It would be a gross security breach.

There are three excellent reasons why it is not only right for Biden to flatly refuse to debate Trump, but his duty as President to do so. Shame on these news outlets for suggesting otherwise (likely driven by a cheap desire for the ratings).

DJT doesn't debate.
He has no policy.
He has no platform.
At best, he has a rudimentary understanding of how the executive branch of US government works, and virtually no understanding of how the other two branches of government work.
DJT is a liar and a fraud.
What's to debate?

We watched him creepily follow Hillary around, trying to intimidate her by getting into her space. Trump is just bizarre, and getting more so as his mind ages, he stumbles over disconnected words and wanders in and out of context in his sentences.
