How many presidential debates will be attended by Trump and Biden? I think Trump dodges a few more than last time, he clearly doesn't like the debate stage and hasn't done it in forever. He's really been struggling with questions like "Where are those numbers from" and "Who said that?" So I take the under, 2 presidential debates.

You mean under 2.5 debates? peace_5

Personally I think it's a waste of time.

And watching trump yell over top of Biden when it's Biden's turn to speak is nauseating, although it proves he's a fascist.

Yes, I’m taking the under. Sleepy Don is now cutting and running from debates. Could you imagine what would happen if the mods asked him about infrastructure/inferashehdyeyrrrr?

CNN Wallace is surprised that Trump agreed to Biden terms for two televised debates. CNN and ABC. June and September. No audience. Microphone is turned on only when it is the candidate's time to speak. No third party candidate. Previously, Trump lost debates against Biden and Clinton. Experts say Trump is a bad debater but difficult to debate against because he constantly lies, insults and interrupts everyone.. This debate is between perception and reality.

Do you mean lies like the laptop is real? Or maybe the lie that Hunter received millions from China? Yeah Trump said that and Biden claimed they were lies.

Biden’s lie about fracking — “I never said I opposed fracking” — was so egregious that even CNN’s Daniel Dale mentioned it in his after-action report?

Has Trump participated in any debates? No, not since 2020
Has Trump ever agreed to something, then changed his mind or stance? All the time
Has OP set the line at 2.5? Yes
Has OP taken the under and predicted 2 debates? Yes

How many debates are tentatively agreed to now? 2

Seems like OP’s line of 2.5 is spot on, could go either way an_cheers

Thanks Fubah! an_cheers

update: Has Trump ever agreed to something, then changed his mind or stance?

Today, Trump declined to testify after repeatedly promising that he would testify in his defense. Some are saying he chickened out. I can’t blame him, if I was his attorney there’s no way I would let him get anywhere near the witness stand, his penchant for saying stupid things that weaken his defenses would probably seal the deal on a guilty verdict.
