Biden agrees to presidential debates, earlier dates set

After months of goading, Donald Trump has his wish. 

Joe Biden has finally agreed to presidential debates, but on a different schedule. 

He released a video on social media earlier today saying that he’s ready to debate, and that Trump is available on Wednesdays, referring to the day that Trump’s hush money trial is not in session. 

US Correspondent Mitch McCann told Roman Travers that normally these debates take place in the last two or so months of the campaign, but the first will be taking place in June, the second in September. 

Biden’s team says the usual model hasn’t been working, and that organisers have failed to keep the debates under control in the past.
