President Joe Biden has challenged former President Donald Trump to two presidential debates before the November 5 election, stating 'Make my day.' Biden announced he will not participate in the traditional debates organized by the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates. Instead, he proposes debates in June and September, to be hosted by news organizations. Trump has accepted Biden's challenge, agreeing to the proposed dates. Biden's decision marks a departure from the decades-old tradition of three fall debates. The debates are expected to be highly anticipated events in the lead-up to the election.
