United States President Joe Biden on Friday said that he is willing to debate with his Republican opponent, Donald Trump, later this fall his most definitive comment yet on the issue. The comment came during the interview with Howard Stern, the Sirius XM radio host. Stern asked Biden if he would participate in the debate against Donald Trump.

I am, somewhere. I don't know what Biden said. But I'm happy to debate him. So far, Biden's reelection campaign had declined to commit to participating in the debates, a hallmark of every general election presidential campaign since 1976.
