Not one to back down from a challenge, Trump confirmed to CNN's Kaitlan Collins: "The answer is yes, I will accept."

Both Biden and Trump have made it very clear in past months that they had no problem debating each other before the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

In a video from the president, he directly challenged Trump about a debate, noting that the 77-year-old lost to him twice in 2020.

"Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then he hasn't shown up for a debate. Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again," Biden said.

"Well, make my day, pal, I'll even do it twice. So let's pick the dates, Donald – I hear you're free on Wednesdays," the president added,  alluding to Trump's ongoing criminal trial.

A third person noted, "I just love Dark Brandon."

Some other X users claimed the president was afraid to debate in front of a live audience, adding that Biden had ulterior motives for accepting CNN and ABC's invites.

The billionaire mogul recently attacked Biden, branding him a leader who fails to deliver on his promises.

Trump criticized the president's communication skills: "He's a confused man. He can't put two sentences together. He doesn't have a clue. He doesn't know where he is. He doesn't know he's alive and he's our president."
