US News Organizations Urge Biden and Trump to Commit to Debates for 2024 Presidential Election

Twelve news organizations in the United States have called on both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the presumptive presidential nominees from their respective parties, to commit to participating in debates ahead of the November presidential vote. While Biden has expressed a willingness to debate Trump, he has not yet agreed to face off against rival Democratic candidates. The media outlets emphasized that despite political polarization, debates are an essential part of the democratic process and can help inform voters. Previously, both candidates have resisted debating opponents from within their parties.
