The Biden campaign manager also expressed hope that President Trump will not “make excuses” to avoid debating the former vice president. Dillon then made comments implying that the president is doing poorly in polls and trying to distract the nation from his “failed leadership.”
Dillon’s letter to the Commission also included claims that the president wanted to handpick a debate moderator. She wrote that Trump is fearful of “fair, even-handed debates,” and implied that the president seeks a biased moderator.
Response from the Trump Campaign
President Trump’s re-election team wasted no time in pushing back against Dillon’s claims. Communication director Tim Murtaugh fired back on Monday, saying “handlers” of Joe Biden are uneasy about him debating without “a script and teleprompter.”
Murtaugh didn’t stop there, however. The communications director also pointed out that a more extensive debate schedule will highlight the former vice president’s “confused meandering.”
