"On the other side of that split screen, you’ve got the former president, who glorifies dictators and has said he’ll be a dictator on day one."
Someone who has said that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies," she continued. "Someone who said he’s proud of the fact that he had picked three members of the United States Supreme Court, who took a constitutional right from the women of America to make decisions about their own body.”
On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump challenged President Biden to a debate "ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE!" He added in a post on Truth Social, "The Debates can be run by the Corrupt DNC, or their Subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD)."
Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler told Fox News shortly after the post, "I know Donald Trump's thirst for attention and struggling to expand his appeal beyond the MAGA base—and that's a conversation we'll have at the appropriate time in this cycle."
