The president of the United States Joe Biden “raised the gauntlet” to Trump on Friday, saying he is ready for a telefight with his arch-rival in the upcoming presidential election.

“I’ll be happy to talk to him,” Biden said in an interview with Howard Stern when asked if he would be willing to debate Trump.

Previously, Trump pre-invited Biden to talk “whenever he wants, where he wants, how he wants”.

In addition, major US news organizations including ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News have invited both candidates to participate in a televised debate ahead of the November presidential election.

THE Joe Biden appeared today on the presenter’s live radio show, where he also told family stories, some particularly dramatic.

The interview with Stern took place while Joe Biden was in New York for political events. It was full of details of his life as the Democrat tries to make himself more accessible to voters.
