Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden and Donald Trump agreed Wednesday to hold election debates in June and September, with the rivals trading barbs about their first on-stage meetings in nearly four years. The sudden agreement, ending months of uncertainty over whether the debates would happen at all, came after Biden, 81, challenged his scandal-tinged Republican rival to "make my day." Trump, 77, quickly responded that he was "ready to rumble" -- and within hours CNN announced it would host the first debate in Atlanta on June 27 and ABC said it would stage the second on September 10.

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump on Wednesday challenged Joe Biden to an election debate after the two men emerged from primary voting as the all-but-certain Republican and Democratic candidates in November's US presidential vote.

Des Moines (United States) (AFP) - Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis pitched Republicans Wednesday on their bids to be the 2024 presidential candidate in the final debate before nominating begins -- but spurned repeated chances to make the case for abandoning front-runner Donald Trump. The head-to-head showdown in Iowa capital Des Moines came five days before the state's pivotal opening vote in the primary season, considered crucial for winnowing the field and giving those left standing a springboard for the rest of the race. Trump has a commanding lead despite the multiple legal challenges he face...

Alpharetta (United States) (AFP) - The leaders of two of the largest US states went head-to-head Thursday in a prime-time debate offering contrasting views of how the deeply-polarized nation should be run -- and a preview of how the 2028 White House race might look. Republican Florida governor Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom, his counterpart in Democratic California, have been hammering each other for years over their vastly differing outlooks but the at times bad-tempered debate marked their first in-person clash. The pair represent almost one in five Americans -- California is the largest US s...

Simi Valley (United States) (AFP) - Seven US presidential hopefuls tussled over immigration, China and the economy Wednesday at the second Republican primary debate -- but saved some of their most strident remarks to slam frontrunner Donald Trump for spurning the showdown. The former president, who is battling multiple criminal cases, has decided to skip the debates, and instead met auto industry workers in the battleground state of Michigan. Trump's no-show prompted former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie -- the ex-president's biggest antagonist among the candidates -- to accuse the 77-year...

Milwaukee (AFP) - It is the widely-recognized party symbol uniting Republicans, but the only elephant in the room at the first US presidential debate was the one that didn't show up. "Trump's on the stage every day. He gives two-hour speeches," Donald Trump's eldest son Don Jr told AFP, explaining his father's decision to skip the event. "He spends more time with the press -- even the ones that hated him, even when he was president -- than anyone." The younger Trump was upbeat about his father's 2024 election prospects, but angry at being blocked from the press interview area by Fox News, orga...

Milwaukee (AFP) - An entrepreneur crusading against progressive issues, a former UN ambassador, a former vice president and numerous sitting and former governors: these are the participants in the first debate for the 2024 Republican primaries.

Ottawa (AFP) - Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday duked it out with Tory leader Erin O'Toole over climate change and the timing of Canadian elections amid the pandemic, in one of two pivotal debates as elections draw near. The environment is among the top issues cited by Canadians heading into the September 20 vote, while Trudeau has seen his support plunge after calling early elections. He now trails O'Toole in the polls 33.7 percent to 31.2 percent -- within the margin of error. In a poignant moment in the French-language debate, a boy far too young to vote, but concerned a...
