President Biden said Friday he would be "happy" to debate former President Trump during an interview with radio host Howard Stern.
"I am, somewhere, I don’t know when. I'm happy to debate him," Biden said, after Stern said he didn't know whether Biden would participate in a debate.
Biden's comments represent a shift from past remarks about possibly debating Trump. Last month, he told reporters it would depend "on his behavior."
Trump's campaign jumped at the news, with campaign adviser Chris LaCivita writing on X, "Ok, let's set it up!"
