Joe Biden deflects Trump's call for debates, stating Trump can join the millions watching the State of the Union for engagement instead.

Joe Biden declined Donald Trump's call for debates ahead of the 2024 general election, with Trump expressing willingness to engage "anytime, anywhere, anyplace."

Trump, the 2024 GOP frontrunner, made the offer on his Truth Social platform just after Nikki Haley suspended her campaign.

Biden's team rejected the proposal, citing Trump's thirst for attention and the upcoming State of the Union address as an opportunity for him to engage with the American public. 

Trump responded by announcing plans to provide live commentary on Biden's State of the Union, aiming to address what he perceives as inaccuracies regarding the border and the Department of Justice's actions against him.
