Speaking to NBC News, a Biden campaign official said, “The debate about debates is over,” adding that there will be “no more games.”
Responding to Biden’s team statement, Trump campaign spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez slammed the president’s decision.
The Trump team’s official stated that Hispanic voters will watch the Telemundo/NBC, but Biden’s advisers “are petrified to allow him to defend his disastrous record.”
“Crooked Joe Biden is too “cobarde” to address the Hispanic community and answer for his failures on the debate stage,” Alvarez added.
Earlier this week, Trump and Biden announced they would face off each other in two presidential debates – one hosted by CNN in Atlanta on June 27, and another by ABC News on September 10 at an unknown location.
