President Biden announced he wants to debate Donald Trump two times.

I'm really surprised. I don't know if that is going to work out.

And I'm going to have extensive analysis on it.

But when I heard it, I went, hmm, why is the White House doing this?

And the obvious answer is, the White House knows it's in trouble.

And that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo.

So first, the hard news, CNN debate, okay, June 27th, Thursday.

Don't know where it is yet, but they'll find a place, I'm sure.

Both candidates have confirmed now.

Donald Trump said he would do it.

Both candidates insulted each other in the process of this.

Here's what President Biden said.

Go.

Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020.

Since then he hadn't shown up for debate.

Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again.

Well, make my day, pal.

I'll even do it twice.

So let's pick the dates, Donald.

I hear you're free on Wednesdays.

Snide, right?

That's a reference to the trial in New York City.
