"Gavin Newsom Advocates for Biden to Debate Trump and Emphasizes Biden's Strengths"

California Governor Gavin Newsom called on President Joe Biden to debate former President Donald Trump in the fall, despite Biden's current refusal to commit to any general election debates. Newsom criticized Trump for refusing to debate in his own primary, calling it "weakness masquerading as strength." Trump has expressed his desire to face off against Biden "immediately," while Biden's campaign has not committed to any debates. The Commission on Presidential Debates has released the dates and locations of three presidential debates they hope to host this fall.
