President Joe Biden accepted an invitation from CNN to debate in June, the first organization to be publicly announced as a debate host after the president challenged former President Donald Trump to join him onstage Wednesday morning.

“I’ve received and accepted an invitation from @CNN for a debate on June 27th. Over to you, Donald,” Biden said in a post to X on Wednesday. “As you said: anywhere, any time, any place.”
