Trump senior advisor Chris LaCivita took minutes to respond to Biden’s comments.

‘Ok let’s set it up,’ he posted on X.

There are three presidential debates scheduled for before the November 5 general election.

Trump has vowed for weeks to take on his Democratic adversary ‘any place, any time’ before millions of Americans cast their ballots in a rematch of the 2020 election.

Biden and Trump have already been at each others throats with just shy of seven months until the vote.
