After months of dodging the question or providing vague responses when asked, Biden finally agreed to a debate with President Trump.
During a Friday morning interview with Howard Stern on Sirius XM, the long-time radio host asked Biden, “I don’t know if you’re going to debate your opponent.” Biden lethargically responded, “I am, somewhere, I don’t know when. I’m, I’m happy to debate him.”
The 45th president has repeatedly challenged Biden to a head-to-head matchup on the debate stage. Perhaps the most memorable occasion was during a rally in Wisconsin where he pointed to an empty podium on the stage and told the crowd, “That’s for Joe Biden, I’m trying to get him to debate!”
Fox News contributor Joe Concha provided a play-by-play of the interview, noting “there were rumblings” about the Stern interview happening, but “the WH didn’t announce anything until now.” He also pointed out that the show was airing “outside of Howard’s normal timeslot.”
Snippets of the interview spread quickly online as users blasted Biden for repeatedly lying about his past.
Biden also told Stern that back in the 1970s, he “got put in that 10 most eligible bachelor’s list,” and that women would “send him salacious pictures.” He told Stern that he would just “give them to the Secret Service.”
