Some say there's a rule in politics that if you're demanding your opponent debate you, "you know you're losing," as CNN's Manu Raju has put it.
Even so, several Fox News hosts and guests, as well as Kremlin-controlled media, are pushing for President Biden to debate Russian President Vladimir Putin, for some reason.
The Kremlin was unsurprisingly displeased by Biden labeling Putin a killer this week, and Putin later challenged Biden to a debate of sorts. "I want to propose to President Biden to continue our discussion, but on the condition that we do it basically live," he said, reports ABC News.
State-controlled media in Russia has continued to repeat the demand for a "duel," reports The Daily Beast.

Over at Fox News, Sean Hannity seemed to agree it was a good idea. "What have I been saying?" he said, noting Biden would have "no time to prepare" if he agreed to Putin's suggestion of meeting as early as Friday or Monday. He argued Biden has so far been "protected" by U.S. media, and a live debate would show his true colors. Outnumbered host Harris Faulkner said it would be "hypocritical" for Biden not to debate.

There is nothing to debate
Fox News would rather be russian stooges now
I say, let them renounce their citizenship and leave for Russia, like now
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)It's not like they want to take President Biden (my president and YOURS, Sean) to task for his policies or programs. What are they going to say? Biden's helping too many people. He's getting too many people vaccinated. The stock market keeps hitting too many new highs.
So, this ridiculous idea of a debate.

If he thinks he can make our president look old or weak or frail...he has greatly misread his adversary.
Losing his edge with a real leader in charge..making him look weak and frail?
