Joe Biden’s campaign is making some interesting demands for the upcoming debates with Donald Trump. They want no live audience and for microphones to be turned off when it’s not the candidate’s turn to speak. This seems extreme to many, as audiences are often seen as important for candidates to directly connect with voters.
It’s clear that Biden’s team is trying to tightly control the debate environment. They even specified which networks can host the debates, wanting only those perceived as neutral. This move seems to shield Biden from potential tough questions or pressure he could face in a more open setting.

Trump quickly agreed to the proposed debate dates, but it’s uncertain if he’ll agree to all of Biden’s terms. Trump has already indicated he wants more debates, with live audiences. The back-and-forth negotiations between the two camps may continue as they try to reach a compromise.
The proposed terms by Biden’s campaign suggest a level of fear or insecurity about facing Trump on the debate stage. By setting such strict conditions, it raises questions about Biden’s ability to handle unscripted moments or challenges. Conservatives may see this move as weak and lacking transparency, further emphasizing the need for fair and open debates.
In conclusion, Biden’s debate demands appear to be aimed at creating a safe and controlled environment for him, raising concerns about his readiness to face Trump head-on. The negotiations leading up to the debates will likely continue, with Trump pushing for a more traditional format. It remains to be seen how the final debate terms will be agreed upon between the two campaigns.
