During his "My Take" on Thursday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney discussed former President Donald Trump's call to debate President Biden ahead of the 2024 election, arguing the president's "handlers" would do anything to avoid having Biden stand for 90 minutes to defend his "dismal record." STUART VARNEY: It's going to be a rematch. So are there going to be debates? Absolutely, says Donald Trump, "anywhere, anytime, anyplace.
Now that the field is down to two, is President Biden going to commit to a debate with Donald Trump?" KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: "That's something for the campaign to speak to." Well, we know when the debates are going to be. We know where they're going to be. Is he going to go?"

In 2020, once it got down to one-on-one, Joe Biden said, ‘I can hardly wait to debate him.’ How about now?" KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: "I'm going to sound like a broken record. You should reach out to the campaign." They're not too keen on debates, and we all know why. Biden is just not fast on his feet. He can't speak without a prompter or note cards. A debate with the dynamic and articulate Donald Trump could be a disaster.
With Biden, it's not a one-liner from Trump he has to worry about. It's the idea that for 90 minutes, he'd have to stand, think quickly, speak clearly and defend his dismal record. When the State of the Union message is over tonight, we should have a better idea of whether he's capable of debate. FOR MORE FOX BUSINESS CLICK HERE
