Dems Are Wary Of Biden Agreeing To Debate Trump

The Hill reports:

Democratic lawmakers are leery about the prospect of President Biden debating former President Trump, fearing that putting the two on stage together would only elevate the likely GOP nominee. Trump has skipped every Republican presidential primary debate thus far but says he’s eager to debate Biden.

Democratic lawmakers, however, are not relishing that scenario. “I would think twice about it,” said Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.) about the prospect of Biden debating Trump.

“I’ve been physically present at one of [Trump’s] debates with Hillary Clinton, and I watched him do outrageous things and say outrageous things. It’s just an opportunity for him to display his extremism.”

Read the full article. As you may recall, at one debate, Trump stomped around the stage behind Hillary Clinton in actions some found physically menacing.

Will Rs & Trump regret him skipping all the R debates?
