Nancy Pelosi: 'I Don't Think that There Should Be Any Debates'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Thursday that there should be no presidential debates between President Trump and Democrat nominee Joe Biden, dismissing them as nothing more than an "Exercise in skullduggery."

While she acknowledged that the Biden campaign "Thinks in a different way" about the subject, she drilled her point, criticizing Trump's conduct in the 2016 debates with failed challenger Hillary Clinton.

Pelosi's call follows mounting pressure from pundits and media allies, urging Biden to forgo the traditional presidential debates.

"The debate commission has invited both candidates to participate in three debates. Joe Biden has accepted," Biden spokesperson TJ Ducklo told CNN's Oliver Darcy at the beginning of the month.

Trump's campaign has since sought assurances from the Commission on Presidential Debates that Biden will debate the president in person.

Three presidential debates are currently scheduled for Tuesday, September 29; Thursday, October 15; and Thursday, October 22.
