In preparation for the upcoming election, a debate schedule has been proposed for Donald Trump and Joe Biden to address key policy issues. The schedule sets the first debate for Sept. 16, the second for Oct. 1, and the last for Oct. 9. However, Trump’s co-campaign managers advocate for an earlier start and additional debates to ensure voters have ample information before casting their ballots.
In a letter penned by Trump’s co-campaign managers, Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, they express concern that the proposed schedule is too late considering the significant number of Americans who will vote early. They argue for an earlier start to allow more voters to witness the candidates in action before making their decisions.

Wiles and LaCivita emphasize the importance of giving Americans a full opportunity to evaluate the candidates, suggesting the addition of more debates beyond the currently proposed schedule. Their goal is to maximize voter engagement and ensure that voters are well-informed about the candidates’ positions and policies.
Despite Trump’s absence from the Republican primary debates, he now expresses eagerness to engage with Biden, stating he’s ready to debate “anytime, anyplace, and anywhere,” according to NBC News. This willingness underscores the significance both campaigns place on engaging directly with voters and presenting their visions for the country’s future.
