Unveiling the Demands: Inside the Negotiations for the Biden-Trump Debate Showdown

34

The highly anticipated presidential debates are just around the corner, and tensions are running high as the Biden and Trump campaigns battle it out for the best terms. Behind closed doors, negotiations have been taking place, with both sides presenting their demands for the showdown.

As the deadline draws near, the pressure is on to reach an agreement that satisfies both parties. Let's take a closer look at the list of restrictions that the Biden team has put forth, and what it could mean for the upcoming debates.

First and foremost, the Biden team has requested that all participants undergo COVID-19 testing before entering the debate venue. With the ongoing pandemic, it's no surprise that this is a top priority for the Democratic nominee. This demand highlights the seriousness of the situation and the need to ensure the safety of all involved. It also shows that the Biden campaign is taking a proactive approach to the potential risks of holding a live debate.

Another key demand from the Biden team is the inclusion of a "mute button" for the moderator to silence a candidate's microphone if necessary. This comes in response to the chaotic first debate between the two candidates, where interruptions and cross-talk were rampant. The idea behind this restriction is to ensure a more civil and organized debate, with each candidate given a fair chance to express their views without being constantly interrupted.

In addition to these technical requirements, the Biden team has also put forth demands for the topics that will be discussed during the debates. These include the COVID-19 pandemic, the economy, race relations, and climate change. This shows a clear focus on the pressing issues facing the country and highlights the Biden campaign's determination to keep the debates relevant and informative.

Furthermore, the Democratic nominee's team has requested that both candidates be given equal speaking time, with the possibility of cutting the debate short if one candidate continually exceeds their allotted time. This demand speaks to the desire for a fair and balanced debate, where each candidate has an equal chance to share their views and rebut their opponent's arguments.

The Biden team has also requested that the candidates not shake hands before or after the debate, as a precautionary measure against the spread of COVID-19. This may seem like a small detail, but it is a reflection of the current reality and the importance of adhering to safety guidelines. It also highlights the gravity of the situation and the need for both candidates to set an example for the American people.

Furthermore, the Democratic nominee's team has put forth demands for a more diverse panel of moderators, including a Black or Latino journalist. This request aligns with the Biden campaign's focus on diversity and inclusion, and it sends a message that all voices should be represented and heard during the debates.

Last but not least, the Biden team has requested that the debates have a live fact-checking system in place. This would allow the moderator to fact-check any false or misleading statements made by either candidate in real-time. This demand reflects the importance of truth and accuracy in the debates, and it could potentially prevent the spread of misinformation to the American public.

As negotiations continue, it remains to be seen whether the Trump campaign will agree to all of these demands or push for their own. One thing is for sure, the debates will be a crucial moment in the race to the White House, and the terms set forth by both campaigns will play a significant role in shaping the outcome. So mark your calendars and get ready for a heated, but hopefully more organized, debate between the two candidates.

  2. Dementia Joe talks the talk, but can’t walk the walk, he’s to busy shitting his pants!!! President Trump should have a rule, no shitting yourself during debate!

  3. Sounds fair; If Biden has his team of fact checkers, then just make sure Trump has his team of fact checkers. If Trump’s mike is muted while Biden is speaking, then make sure Biden’s mike is muted when Trump is speaking. No shaking of hands – hmm safest way to prevent Biden from contaminating Trump. (Sort of a joke) However Trump should be allowed to offer his hand for Biden to shake, if Biden refuses, so be it. As to all Democrat aligned people being in charge, how about a fourth or maybe a third of the time Trump’s journalists asking questions to Biden and Biden’s journalists asking questions of Trump. Or what about waiting till after the Democrat convention and then Trump and the actual Democrat candidate have a debate?

  4. I think U.S. citizens should have input on topics to be discussed. At least 1 moderator should be a conservative.

    Also, U.S. citizens should be able to ask the questions.

  6. Left Fox sponsor the Second Debate and Mute Biden when Trump Speaks. Dems need to have the Same Thing done to them ……….Make it Even.

  7. Talk about one sided. A Democrat.
    Moderator, Trump only One to be silenced. Media coverage only democrats. And no addressing the border? Only one good point a fact checker. [Only one? If so it’s probably a Democrat. Let’s have 2]
    Let’s insist on one for each candidate.

  8. EQUAL NUMBER OF MODERATORS FROM EACH SIDE PERIOD!!
    No preview of question before the Debate.
    Should be an audience people in the audience should ask the QUESTIONS
    NO NOTES CARRIED IN BY CANDIDATES

  10. An “even and fair” debate means both sides adhere and are held to the exact same rules/restrictions. One liberal/left-leaning moderator/network, and then one conservative/right-leaning moderator/network. As to the subjects discussed, the top 4 or 5 major topics as described/decided by the majority of citizens. If you want to address Americans about how you will lead them, and this nation, shouldn’t the topics be what those self-same Americans are most concerned about? Mute buttons for both candidates, fact-checkers for both candidates and, to alleviate concerns of “selective editing”, a clearly visible clock in the background showing the current time all throughout the debate ( not a digital clock superimposed on the screen, as that could potentially be tampered with also ).

  11. All COVID related restrictions ridiculous!
    And Trump should insist on pre-debate drug testing so we don’t have to have a hopped up Biden screaming through the debate.
    Fact checker for EACH side or none at all.
    Add DOJ weaponization & foreign policy to the topics for sure!

  12. Sadly what I read in the Biden, so called debate, requirements is not for a debate at all, but for a manipulated question and answer program conducted by left wing supporters. Under no circumstance should we American citizens, want to see a planned degradation of our election process.

  13. It’s already rigged in Biden’s favor since “his team” already picked the discussion topics, AND he undoubtedly already has the questions, so he can begin memorizing the answers. Some “debate” huh? I bet he’ll have an earphone in like Hillary did. Is there ANYTHING that the Dems do that’s NOT secretive OR dishonest?

  14. Biden right g the debate in his favor, huh?

    HIS RULES?

    MR TRUMP SHOULD INSIST ON TWO RULES:

    1) BIDEN MUST BE DRUG TESTED RIGHT BEFORE THE DEBATE. IF HE APPEARS TO BE SLEEPING. HE’S NOT
    DRUGGED. IF HIS EYES ARE WIDE OPEN AND APPEAR BLACK, HE’S JACKED UP ON SOMETHING.
    (ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO, OR LISTENED TO A TRUMP RALLY, KNOWS HE’S ALERT AND ON TARGET.)
    ALSO. NO EAR BUDS FOR BIDEN, AS HIS HANDLERS MAY BE FEEDING HIM ANSWERS.

    2) THE SOUTHERN BORDER, AND NUMBER OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IS A MUST. THE 2ND
    AMENDMENT. COVID-19 IS PASSE’, EVERYONE NOW KNOWS THE REAL DEAL
    REGARDING THESE INEFFECTIVE VACCINES. I’M SURE BIDEN IS INJECTED WITH SALINE.

    BIDEN’S DEBATE BRAVADO IS LAUGHABLE, AND I’M SURE THAT NIGHT HIS HANDLERS WILL BE POPPING VALIUM LIKE CANDY.

    3) A REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT MUST BE THERE. IS BIDEN TRYING TO STACK THE DECK? A
    MODERATOR WHO LEANS DEMOCRAT WILL CONSTANTLY CUT TRUMP AND LET BIDEN RAMBLE ON.

  16. I would like to have the candidates keep the discussion about the issues. Personal comments have no place in a presidential debate. I suggest that the debate be between two men and no TelePrompTer outside communications have no place in this meeting. It should be between two men and no others!

  18. Again Democrats attempting to “ fix” a debate
    What are the Republicans demands?
    Should have drug test….. check for hidden mics….
    Both have mute buttons … one conservative asking the questions for every liberal!! To start with..

  19. Just what are the Democrats so scared off. They are afraid of free speech, everything has to be moderated by them. Makes me think they are either under qualified or afraid they will not have control of questions. Either way I ask how can I trust them.

  20. This debate needs to be moderated by conservatives this time. Be fair dems! Have more topics such as,border, economy, foreign policys,the things Americans are really interested in.

  21. ” Ya Gotta Be Kidden” same ole Democrat bullshit. “THE FIX IS IN” I’m an Independent voter and in one second I cold smell a rat right away. Biden does not have to answer questions about immigration??? What about inflation, Afghanistan, Oil reserves, weak foreign policy etc. etc. etc. and all the other failed policies’ he’s proposed, plus the lies he has told??? Only certain broadcast and news service are to attend??? Democratic leaning moderator who is the fact checker???? As one side as ya can get. Well” Seig Heil” or Ya Gotta be Crazy” to allow the rules of the Democrats. They want Mr. Trump to be silenced while Biden is coached to tell his lies again. Mr. Trump stay away. Biden tells his bull shit again about the debate trying to looking like a saint again. He wants his own rules, just like he wants to rule The United States of America as a Monarch in a dictatorial state. Biden don’t care about the citizens of our country he’s pure EVIL personified for the American people. I could write for a longer period of time but I’m not a writer and ALL the bullshit from Mr. Biden and The Democratic Party plus their divisive and failed policies could probably have me write at least two or more volumes. Sorry for long response but this man and his party sickens me. “JOE MUST GO” or The United States of America will become The United Socialist States of America. PS: I did not vote for Trump, Hillary or Biden the in the past to Presidential elections. Left levers in neutral position in one, and Presidential section of paper ballot blank in another.

  23. I would like to see Biden without earphones so debate would be free from outside help! Also, conservative monitors as well as liberals. And I would think that non-aligned moderator would be ideal rather than democrat aligned.

  24. Wrote a long response to this article don’t know if it will be posted??
    Mr. Trump don’t agree to Democrats terms. THE FIX IS IN . The rules initiated by Democrats are as one sided as it gets. It wont be a Debate but a rehearsed speech written for Joe Biden. More gaslighting. The Democrats are afraid of Joe Biden’s failed administration and his incompetency therefore they cannot be trusted.

  26. Sounds like Communist debate all leftists media with all questions only to Joe so he won’t make a fool of himself as he always does let’s have a debate with newsmax so we get honest questions and answers

  27. If don’t discuss the border (#1 on everyone’s mind) and have a conservative host as well, cancel the debates. Biden is incapable of telling the truth anyway!

  28. Have the moderators start the response clock for each candidate after each question and the clock shut off the respondent’s microphone when the allotted time is reached. The clock should be visible to both candidates, the moderators and the television viewers.

  29. So the fascist democrats want to only have questions asked that they can answer with lies and deceit in order to keep President Trump silenced and they are trying to use the fake pandemic once again to try and steal yet another election. By the way Joe Biden is the one that is racist, the picture of him sitting by one of the leaders of the KKK during a parade in the 1980’s tells it all. Biden will probably be high on cocaine and have a teleprompter to be able to answer questions.

  31. The number one issue in the country not even mentioned: the border and illegal immigrants. No such thing as border control under Joe Biden.

  32. I doubt we will see any debate. Why? Because the Biden camp will make so many dumb demands that Trump will refuse to agree to them. Then they will say Trump is refusing to debate Biden so therefore the debates are off. They will (with their media friends) make it appear it’s Trump afraid to debate when in reality we know Biden camp doesn’t want to debate at all.
