The Spin
Republican narrative
Biden has finally agreed to debate Trump, but he's insisting on absurd and unreasonable guardrails — no audience, no third-party candidates, time limits — and Democrat-friendly networks. Even on Biden's terms, Trump will prevail and show the US electorate why he should return to the White House.
Democratic narrative
Trump is going to get steamrolled, especially with the rules Biden is insisting on. Trump won't be able to function without an audience to cheer him on or with time limits keeping him from interrupting. Of course, it remains to be seen if he'll show up after dodging so many debates in 2020 and during the 2024 primary race.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 49% chance that Donald Trump will win the 2024 Presidential election on the condition that Biden and Trump will debate in 2024, according to the metaculus prediction community.
