Karine Jean-Pierre didn’t want to have to face this question.
But Jean-Pierre found herself backed into a corner with no means of escape.
And Karine Jean-Pierre was forced to make this damning admission about Joe Biden.
Donald Trump and his campaign kept up the drumbeat of challenging Joe Biden to a debate.
Trump declared he would debate Biden anytime, anywhere, and anyplace.
The Trump campaign made their challenge official when senior advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita wrote a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates and urged them to move up the typical start of the debate schedule from late September/early October to early September due to the proliferation of early voting laws in states across America.
“While the Commission on Presidential Debates has already announced three presidential debates and a vice-presidential debate to occur later this year, we are in favor of these debates beginning much earlier,” Wiles and LaCivita stated.
Debates beginning in the late fall were fine when the vast majority of Americans voted on Election Day.
But now millions of Americans cast a ballot prior to getting a chance to size up the candidates in a one-on-one showdown.
LaCivita and Wiles wrote that an earlier start to the debates will “ensure more Americans have a full chance to see the candidates before they start voting, and we would argue for adding more debates in addition to those on the currently proposed schedule.”
The Trump advisers also warned that a lack of debates – such as in 2020 when the commission canceled the second debate after Trump contracted the coronavirus – would deprive the electorate of a fair chance to make an informed decision.
“Americans were robbed of a true and robust debate in 2020,” Wiles and LaCivita cautioned.
But Joe Biden has refused to commit to a debate.
Karine Jean-Pierre made it clear there may not be any debates at all, telling reporters “2020 was a different time.”

Biden is using the excuse that Donald Trump is a criminal insurrectionist to skip the debates.
But what Biden and his handlers truly fear is Biden being forced to stand on stage for three 90-minute encounters where he can’t read scripted answers written in response to scripted questions off a cheat sheet like he does in his rare press conferences.
73 million Americans watched the first Biden-Trump debate in 2020.
Only the Super Bowl will draw a bigger audience.
And if Joe Biden gets up on stage in front of tens of millions of Americans and forgets he is president or can’t remember his kid’s name, the election is over.
