general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee
Presidential debates happen between presidential candidates. Democrats don’t have a presidential candidate yet. But they will by the end of the DNC on August 22nd.
Biden was even more than the presidential candidate, he is the sitting president. A presidential debate between a president and a presidential candidate makes perfect sense, no?
Yeah lol spinning this as “backing out” seems like a stretch. But if the headline was like “Trump campaign prefers to wait for formal nominations before planning debate,” then it would not drive much engagement.
