However, DNC senior adviser Cedrick Richmon did not provide\u2062 a direct answer.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have not had a conversation about that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m sure one day \u2063we will, but it&#8217;s not today, and I don&#8217;t have any news \u200bon \u200cthat.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This response aligns\u200c with comments made by Biden\u2063 campaign\u2063 communications director Michael Tyler during a recent press call,\u200b where he \u200dstated that there have been no substantive conversations about\u200d Biden debating.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that Biden&#8217;s 2020 opponent, Donald Trump, made headlines by skipping the Milwaukee debate, although not all Republicans agreed with his decision. Former Trump White \u200cHouse press secretary \u200bKayleigh McEnany\u2062 even mentioned the potential consequences of Biden \u2064following suit.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You are\u2064 giving Joe Biden a card to\u200c say,\u200d &#8216;I&#8217;m going to\u2063 use the\u2063 Trump debate standard and not\u2062 show\u2063 up because \u2062I&#8217;m so ahead in my internal polls.
