The first scheduled debate is set to take place on September 16 at Texas State University in San Marcos, a date set by the Commission on Presidential Debates despite the Trump campaign’s request for earlier debates. The Trump campaign has raised concerns about the timing of the debates, pointing out that the schedule means debates won’t begin until after early voting has already started. T
hey have called for earlier debates, emphasizing President Trump’s willingness to debate anytime and anywhere. The Republican National Committee has also supported the call for earlier debates, stating that it would be a disservice to voters to hold debates too late in the election cycle. The current polling data, showing Trump with a lead over Biden, suggests that Trump’s eagerness to debate may be influenced by his current standing in the polls.
