President Biden and former President Trump agreed to terms for two presidential debates, one scheduled for June and another for September. Former President Trump has been calling out President Biden for months on the campaign trail, challenging him to debates. Now, voters will see both in action on stage, discussing the economy, the border, abortion, and other hot button issues impacting the country. Chairman and CEO of Stagwell Inc., chairman of the Harris Poll, and FOX News Contributor Mark Penn joins the Rundown to discuss what led President Biden to make the move to challenge the former President to debate, why swing voters are the key to the election, and what he expects out of each candidate.
