Trump wants to debate Joe Biden before first mail-in ballots are sent out

preview

President Trump says he wants the presidential debates earlier so that they can happen before ballots are mailed, and that he’s heard opponent Joe Biden wants to avoid the forums altogether.“The first debate should be at least before the first ballots go out and they have it a month later, almost a month later — it’s ridiculous,” Trump said Wednesday during a “Fox &amp; Friends” interview.The president added, “What’s more important to me is the first debate be moved up so that when people are putting in their first ballot, they’re going to know.”Trump due to the coronavirus pandemic, arguing it could lead to greater fraud due to “harvesting” of ballots.The incumbent’s campaign sees debates as a key vulnerability for Biden, with Trump highlighting the former vice president’s gaffes and frequent confusion on issues as potential evidence that he’s .The first debate is scheduled for Sept. 29 in Cleveland, Ohio, followed by an Oct. 15 debate in Miami, Florida, and an Oct. 22 debate in Nashville, Tennessee.“I’m ready to debate.
