The Trump campaign is intensifying its call for a revamped debate schedule amidst the countdown to the November election, advocating for earlier and more frequent face-offs between former President Donald Trump and potential Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Fox News obtained a letter addressed to the co-chairs of The Commission on Presidential Debates, Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita. In it Trump's campaign managers underscored the urgency of initiating debates well ahead of the traditional timeline to The Commission on Presidential Debates co-chairs Frank Farenkopf Jr. and Antonia Hernandez.

The push aligns with a burgeoning chorus of voices clamoring for an accelerated debate calendar in 2024.

Trump's campaign managers emphasized the evolving landscape of American elections on Thursday, citing the escalating trend of early voting. They stressed that the Commission's proposed debate schedule for 2024 falls short in accommodating the growing number of voters casting ballots well before Election Day.

They wrote, “While the Commission on Presidential Debates has already announced three presidential debates and a vice-presidential debate to occur later this year, we are in favor of these debates beginning much earlier.”

They also argued that millions of Americans are projected to have already exercised their voting rights by the dates of the scheduled debates.

“We have already indicated President Trump is willing to debate anytime, anyplace, and anywhere – and the time to start these debates is now,” asserted Wiles and LaCivita.

The Trump campaign's plea for expedited debates resonates against the backdrop of the Commission's current timetable. Notably, the first presidential debate is slated for September 16 in San Marcos, Texas, a mere 50 days before Election Day on November 5.

“By the date of the second proposed debate, October 1, 2024, the number of Americans who will have likely cast a ballot will be over 3 million, an increase of 225%,” the letter said.

Americans “were robbed of a true and robust debate” with the commission only hosting two debates that took place “much too late in the election calendar despite voting timelines having moved up exponentially,” Wiles and LaCivita argued in reference to 2020.

Republican National Committee (RNC) officials echoed the campaign's stance, emphasizing the need for a revised debate schedule that aligns with the evolving dynamics of modern elections.

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump underscored the imperative of scheduling debates before a significant portion of the electorate casts their ballots, citing the pressing issues facing the nation.

Trump himself underscored the urgency of debating Biden in response to the campaign's appeal, citing the nation's challenges and his vision for its future. He emphasized the need to address critical issues and outlined his commitment to engaging in robust debate anytime, anywhere.

The RNC reiterated its longstanding advocacy for debate reforms aimed at fostering transparency and accountability in tandem with the campaign's efforts.

Fox News reports Biden and his campaign have yet to commit to debates against Trump.

Biden cited concerns about Trump's behavior when questioned about his willingness to engage in debates, suggesting that his participation hinges on the former president's conduct.

Biden expressed confidence in his ability to debate Trump, quipping earlier this year that the former president “has got nothing else to do.”
