Democrats Urging Biden Not to Debate Trump

Democrats around the country have begun to pressure the Biden campaign to call off all debates with Donald Trump due to the coronavirus pandemic, they say.

In truth, the reason they don't want Biden to debate Trump is that they don't think Trump will play by their rules.

Democratic strategists and supporters of Vice President Joe Biden are urging him not to debate President Donald Trump in the lead-up to Election Day, citing Trump's publicity stunts and disregard for the rules in 2016.

Former White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart joined several Democratic Party strategists in bluntly advising Biden, "Whatever you do, don't debate Trump." Speaking on CNN Saturday, Lockhart said Trump shouldn't be given another platform which will enable him to "Repeat lies," which he said occurred in the 2016 debates against Hillary Clinton.

"Biden shouldn't feel obligated to throw Trump a lifeline by granting him any debates at all. This is not a normal presidential election and Trump is not a legitimate candidate," Petkanas tweeted last week, expressing his "Opinion that no one asked for."

Higher education may cooperate with Democrats and the media to deny Trump the opportunity to debate Joe Biden.
