After Trump claimed for months that he would debate Biden 'anytime, anywhere, anyplace,' Biden called Trump's bluff.

Last August, I wrote a piece in this publication arguing that President Joe Biden should not debate former President Donald Trump. In the piece, I wrote, 'Would the public benefit from a substantive debate on the issues? Of course. But that is not what you get with Trump. A debate with Trump would instantly devolve into a theater of the absurd in which everyone but Trump loses.

Which in the modern era of presidential debates is half the game.The only way Biden is going to convince voters that his age is not an issue, and he has the stamina for another four years in office is to show, not tell. And if done right, a debate is a perfect way to do that.Repeatedly, Trump, and his allies, have tried to portray Biden as too feeble to even get out of bed in the morning. A strong debate performance that beats expectations could be a massive win for the president.
