Biden shook up the race last week agreeing to two debates ahead of November after months of needling from Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c[Biden] believes that if he just says \u2018January 6\u2019 then \u2018Trump\u2019 over and over and over, then he\u2019s going to win. Presumably, that is why he is now acceding to a debate with Trump,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cHe realizes that this election is a referendum on him. He\u2019s hoping that if he can get Trump on stage, he can make the election a referendum on Donald Trump.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If recent polls are accurate, Biden needs to shake up the race to avoid losing his reelection bid to his predecessor.

He was president before, he didn\u2019t threaten democracy. He was actually pretty good at the job. [Americans] are much less worried about that than they are about Joe Biden wrecking the country day by day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benshapiro?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@benshapiro<\/a> explaining why Joe Biden is in trouble in the upcoming election. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3E8IUqeS3Z\">pic.twitter.com\/3E8IUqeS3Z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDailyWire\/status\/1792238794525352445?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Joe Biden recently challenged Donald Trump to debates to divert attention from his record before the election, as per Daily Wire&#8217;s Ben Shapiro.
