The stage is almost set…
The Biden campaign has accepted an invitation for Vice President Kamala Harris to debate Donald Trump‘s running mate this summer.
The campaign notified CBS News that they accepted the invitation to participate in studio on either of the proposed dates — July 23 or August 13. (RELATED: Watch: Kamala Harris Booed At March Madness Appearance)
The campaign said the debate would “be in accordance with the guidelines put forth by the campaign.”
On Wednesday, the Biden campaign wrote a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, abandoning the decades-old tradition of three fall events organized by the debate commission.
Former President Trump, shortly after, exclusively told Fox News Digital that he would accept the timeline proposed by Biden — scheduling the first presidential debate for June 27 on CNN and the second for September 10 on ABC News.
The Biden-Harris campaign requested that the debates occur inside a TV studio, with microphones that automatically cut off when a speaker’s time limit elapses. The letter also asked that the debates involve just the two candidates and the moderator — without “an in-person audience with raucous or disruptive partisans and donors.”
