“Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!” former President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social on Wednesday morning after accepting President Joe Biden’s challenge to a debate.
Biden and Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, are slated to have their first presidential debate of the 2024 cycle on June 27. The debate will be the third time they have faced off, having debated twice during the 2020 presidential campaign. A second is slated for September 10.
While many Republicans tout Trump’s debating skills and are excited about the rematch, some are warning him not to underestimate Biden.
Newsweek has reached out to the Trump and Biden campaigns for comment.
The debate announcement comes at a time when polls are tight, with the latest New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena polls showing Trump leading in five swing states: Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia and Nevada. Biden’s polling in those states is within the margin of error.
According to a Pew Research poll in April, 62 percent of Americans disapprove of Biden’s job performance. Meanwhile, Trump is in a criminal hush money trial and faces four criminal cases.
