Neither then-Democratic candidate Joe Biden nor President Donald Trump discussed digital assets or blockchain when they last faced off on the debate stage in 2020.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the presumptive candidates for U.S. President in 2024, will face off against each other for the first time in four years in a June debate.
In a May 15 X post, President Biden said he had received and accepted an invitation from CNN for a presidential debate on June 27, challenging Trump to respond. The former U.S. President reportedly accepted the date for the event in a statement to Fox News, saying he was “ready and willing” to debate President Biden in an earlier post to his social media platform Truth Social.
Trump has been required to appear in a New York courtroom as a defendant in a criminal trial involving hush money payments to an adult film star and falsification of business related to the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, but the presiding judge attends to other matters on Wednesdays. It’s unclear whether his other pending criminal cases in the District of Columbia, Florida and Georgia could conflict with the June debate.
